    Photo Of The Day: TFB’s favorite shots (pun intended), served on a daily basis. We don’t think you have seen today’s selection before. Above you can see U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Matthew Grenier, a military working dog handler assigned to the 378th Expeditionary Security Forces Squadron, as he positions his K9 during live-fire at Prince Sultan Air Base, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, 2023. The carbine is an M4. Live-fire training with dogs helps acclimatize them to the sound of gunfire and allows them to maintain maximum effectiveness in battlefield scenarios.

    Handguns are part of the process as well.

    Would you dare play the bait?

    What a beast!

The training aimed to prime military working dogs response to aggression, in order to keep them prepared to subdue subjects if needed.
