Best Answer

In Vietnam, War Dogs, officially named "military working dogs" alerted GI's of intruders when guarding airbases or riverine patrol boat bases. War dogs alerted GI's of enemy presence during patrols. Approximately 4,000 US war dogs served in the Vietnam War. 43 war dogs and 73 dog handlers were killed in Vietnam.

Where there dogs in the Revolutionary War?

I didn't know the answer to this so I did a little research and found out that no dogs are listed as military dogs used in the war. People did have dogs as pets, but nothing I looked into mentioned them used in the war. I did find the use of dogs in the civil war as pets and guards for a prison camp. Custer is reported to have had several dogs with him and so did Robert E. Lee ( he also had a pet chicken that went everywhere with him). The prison dogs were used in Andersonville prison and were a 100+ pounds and stood over 3 feet tall. They were trained to bring down a man and mutilate him. There are eyewittness reports about the dogs. Since the civil war our military has used dogs.
