That dog went over his limit. LOL! Hope it was cooked at some point before given to the dog.

Where he said these were salmon at the end of their spawn, I was thinking they were before spawn and the dogs were interfering with that.

It was on one of my visits to Vietnam. My Vietnamese friends told me that they don't like to eat dog in the South, but when the Northerners came down after the fall of Saigon they began to see it there.

I didn't take a photo.

9. Many years after the war I became best friends with a guy who'd served as a dog handler in Vietnam

He can't talk about his dog, 'Orion,' without tearing up.

In those days military dogs were left behind in-country. In a way, it was a mercy to my friend to learn, decades later, from later dog handlers that Orion, who had survived combat wounds, died quickly in a freak occurrence and was not left behind.

One year when I traveled back to D.C. for veterans holiday observances at the Wall, I bought a statuette of the Three Servicemen statue. On my return home, I searched for several weeks for a proportionate dog figurine to add to it. Then I found and printed out the insignia of my friend's scout dog unit and made it into a bandanna that I fixed around the dog figurine's neck.

My friend loved the statue when I gave it to him and he proudly displayed it in his office.
