Bomb-sniffing dogs sent from the United States to its Middle Eastern ally Jordan are falling ill and dying due to poor treatment and negligence, a federal investigation has found.

found that at least 10 such dogs in Jordan died between 2008 and 2016 from medical problems. Even those who survive are suffering from "unhealthy conditions," such as inadequate kennels, poor sanitation, and overwork.

According to the report, the State Department's loose regulation and lack of concrete policies were a big factor in the dogs' mistreatment. The State Department couldn't provide investigators detailed information for the dogs in other partner countries besides Jordan, and there often aren't any written agreements with the countries outlining how to care for the dogs.

The case of 2-year-old Athena, who was severely emaciated and ultimately sent back to the U.S. to recover in 2018, offers a glimpse into the dogs' filthy living conditions -- photos show dirt and feces all over her kennel floor, and an empty water bowl.

Where R the Robo-dogs ?

This is horrible. How can they treat them so badly?

It breaks my heart to hear this, bring them home, please!

Bring them home...now!!!

Found that all over the ME, they do not think of animals the way the west does. Same with many Asian countries. The worse was Cairo where dead dogs or cats by the side of the road was a common occurrence. These being highly trained animals you wld think they'ed be cared for.

and here we thought Jordan was a civilized country.

My god. Get those dogs out of there

soldiers too incompetent to feed a dog...

Freaking disgraceful!

Take care of the DAMN dogs

Awful
