Dogs Combat Bomb Threats in Afghanistan
A major threat to NATO forces in Afghanistan comes from IEDs, or improvised explosive devices. One way British forces are combating the threat is with dogs trained to detect explosives. It's a program cloaked in secrecy with officials refusing to give details on how the dogs are trained. Jennifer Glasse reports from London that recently one top dog was awarded a top military prize for his valor.
