Cpl. Michael Foster, a Military Working Dog handler

Cpl. Michael Foster, a Military Working Dog handler and assistant chief trainer for the Provost Marshal’s Office Military Working Dogs Unit with Headquarters Battalion from Marine Corps Base Hawaii, gives a safety class about military dogs to Cub Scout Troop 311 aboard Marine Corps Training Area Bellows, March 5, 2016. The Cub Scouts were given a military dog demonstration showcasing the dogs’ capabilities. Marines and civilian officers gave different commands to their dogs, showing off their intelligence and obedience. The dog handlers also wore a bite jacket for a mock take down by the dogs to show the scouts the discipline and training the dogs show when facing a real threat. Foster, an Aurora, Colo., native said they rely on the dogs so much to go above and beyond every single day which shows in their history as being very reliable in fighting all manners of threats.
