A burn for one of the handlers here. Been working on and off the last couple days here and there.

Very nice! How do you get wood supplies "over there"? Military dogs are incredible. I once saw a video intitled "War Dogs"...perhaps it was Dogs of War...anyway, it was about the dogs and handlers in Vietnam. Great story and a bit of a tear-jerker as well.

What wood I have I brought from the states, hope I do not get too carried away

War Dogs is a good doumentary, used to show it to my students when I was a K9 instructor at Lackland, AFB TX

Nice job Woodie! Looking forward to seeing the finished product.

What kind of a burning rig are you using? How did you manage to fit it in your gear bag with all the other stuff you guys are required to haul around?

A very good friend of mine, who has since passed on from an Agent Orange related illness, was a dog handler in Nam. He loved his dogs. He once told me that they saved his butt more than once.

Eddy,
I have a Colwood burner, it does not take up too much room and a few pieces of wood, picked up a few more pieces while on R/R leave (rounds of plywood so it did not take up much room at all).

Still got a few more things to add.

Got to love the dogs, best partners I have ever worked with and they ask for so little in return.

Hi WOODIE13, I like your K9 woodburning and I'm sure his handler will display it proudly. Doesn't look like you have to much more to do?

Just a little darkening along the muzzle and eye (took a pic of the burn and photo together to help see any shortcomings). Got to burn his name, # and operation on it, should be done in an hour or so tonight.

Sometimes I am my own worst critic, anybody else suffer from this malody?

Woodie...

If you start running low on wood to burn...just yell! It's a sure bet that a lot of the folks on this forum would be more than happy to send you some!

Very nice job on Fido! Don't be so hard on yourself.

Woodie.....wonderful K9 burning! Your friend will love it, I'm sure.....and I'm with Eddie.....you run low, give us a holler, my friend! Take care of yourself over there, be safe, and God Bless! Bonnie

Finished it up last night, little darkening of the muzzle and eyes, added the lettering. Gave it to the handler, he liked it so much, he wants me to do another one
