"At the end of the cavalry era, the Army machine-gunned its horses to death. After Vietnam, much the same thing happened to the working dogs, although it was more humanely done," he said. "Of more than 4,000 dogs sent to Vietnam, only two shipments, about 190 dogs, returned." The rest may have starved in their pens or have been killed and eaten by the North Vietnamese or the Viet Cong, Conklin said. They were classified as disposable "weapons systems." A dog handler himself between 1971 and 1981, including a six-month tour of duty in Thailand, Probist also participated Tuesday in the dedication of the Military Working Dogs Memorial in the riverside park three blocks downstream from the pedestrian bridge.
