MEET the real-life Paw Patrol as The Sun is given a glimpse of the future of Britain’s dogs of war.
The latest combat zone gear was on show as the Army drilled its military mutts in their protective outfits.
Dogs will now be kitted-out in high tech vests and blast goggles as part of a £3million upgrade.
It also includes ear defenders and rubber-soled boots to protect their paws from temperature extremes, glass and shrapnel.
New harnesses will even allow troops to parachute from planes with them.
Military dogs were trained on a base in Rutland. According to the MoD, dogs play crucial roles in the Armed Forces, such as detecting mines and dangers to protect Britain.
Lt Col Ann O’Flynn, the regiment’s commanding officer, said: “Over the last 15 or 20 years, the requirement for working dogs has hugely varied.
“From our time in Afghanistan and Iraq, where numbers were swelled considerably based on the demand for increased working dog support.
“All of our efforts are trained towards our front-line assets, the dogs – they’re our stars.”
DE&S SEEC Operations Manager, Liam Brown, emphasized the significance of ensuring the well-being and safety of all Military Working Dogs and handlers.
“This contract with Von Wolf will enhance our offering by catering to their needs and specific requirements in the most efficient way.”
