Melanthe, my tracker dog 💜 The tracker dogs are a species belonging to @loveatfirstscythe
“Two Australian soldiers with two tracker dogs at Fire Support Base (FSB) Coral. The soldier with his back to the camera is pointing out something to the dog handler, as he gives him instructions. The handler was a scout with 1st Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (1RAR), while the other soldier, a corporal, was a medic with 102 Field Battery.(Donor R. Carbury)” Bien Hoa Province, Vietnam. May 1968.

"An unidentified soldier from 2nd Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (2RAR), with his German Shepherd patrol dog called Carlos. These patrol dogs from the War Dog Section proved to be highly valuable when sent out on patrol with the platoons of 2RAR. They had the ability to provide early warning to the patrolling Australians which could turn the tables on a potential Communist ambush. Sadly, no patrol dogs were with the sections of 1 Platoon, A Company, 2RAR during what became known as the Sungei Siput Pipeline ambush on 22 June 1956, which resulted in the deaths of three Australians and wounding of two others."
