Army Captain Matthew Reed and his

00:09.050 --> 00:11.106
unit are deployed to bagram Airfield

00:11.106 --> 00:13.161
Afghanistan where they treat medical

00:13.161 --> 00:15.710
patients every day . What makes their

00:15.710 --> 00:17.950
job even more difficult though is their

00:17.950 --> 00:20.780
patients ? Our dogs , you're still just

00:20.780 --> 00:23.440
practicing medicine , Just the cause

00:23.440 --> 00:25.551
injuries a little bit different , but

00:25.551 --> 00:27.773
you're still evaluating the same things

00:27.773 --> 00:29.551
I would do on a daily basis and

00:29.551 --> 00:29.520
learning what's wrong with their

00:29.520 --> 00:32.110
patients is no walk in the park . Dogs

00:32.110 --> 00:33.777
by nature , they try to cover

00:33.777 --> 00:35.999
everything out there , try to appear as

00:35.999 --> 00:38.110
healthy and as far as possible at all

00:38.110 --> 00:40.054
times . But by the end of the dogs

00:40.054 --> 00:42.221
visit , the veterinarians say it's all

00:42.221 --> 00:44.277
worth it seeing them go back to work

00:44.277 --> 00:46.332
when it looked like maybe they would

00:46.332 --> 00:45.740
never work again . That's pretty

00:45.740 --> 00:47.750
rewarded with soldiers like these

00:47.750 --> 00:50.250
helping dogs in Need Man's best friend

00:50.260 --> 00:52.500
can help soldiers . They need Petty

00:52.500 --> 00:54.278
Officer Kyle , Jackson , Bagram

00:54.278 --> 00:55.450
Airfield Afghanistan .
