Mark Wilson and his Mine Dog, Sabre #478M. |

Sabre pretending to be an Australian 'roo-and as such in the wrong country
and wanting to be discharged and sent "down under"! |

Having been caught as being a Mine Dog, Sabre is bound for the bush with
his handler, Mark Wilson. |

Waiting for the next mission, Sabre and friend in the exclusive resort
compound for K-9 members only! |

This is Mark Wilson with his snake "Georgette". Mark said
"She seemed to get me through the lines at the PX faster. That was until they asked
me not to bring her back. She went on to protect my locker when I was on a mission. She
made a great guard dog, HA!". |

Here is a wonderful picture of Mark, Rhonda, Jensen the Lab, and Bud
the Shepherd. Mark and Rhonda have remained K-9 people - they raise Leader Dogs for
the Blind. This couldn't be a more fitting tribute to Mark's old partner in Mine
Work.
Carry on, indeed! |
