The word circulating among news outlets is that a single dog was involved in the Osama bin Laden raid. According to the UK Sun, dogs (typically German Shepherds) involved in Navy SEAL operations are usually strapped with armor and cameras to sniff for explosives, attack armed foes and provide valuable intel for soldiers.

That's funny, my trainer's GSD also got titanium fangs after he (the dog) broke his own teeth on a chain link fence. The price sounds about the same, too.

He looks a little like the K9 version of James Bond's foe "Jaws".

The dog got to try them out on a bad guy when the bad guy tried to car jack my trainer's truck in South Florida. The dog crushed the bones in bad guy's elbow. Him and his now useless arm are spending 10 years in prison for that dumb move.

That's taking a bite out of crime. ;-)
