Good piece. Charlie two, in a daylight ambush, had two dog handlers KIA 05/23/68, just outside Trang Bang (I was WIA).

I really enjoyed the artical about the Scout Dogs. My name is Jerry Suitor I was with the 38th Scout Dog Plt. I was working with the 2/12 when Andy was wounded and Billy Jo Parrish & Rodney Manfuro with the 66th Tracker Dogs was KIA just out side of Trang Bang May 23,1968 when Gunships open up on us.

Hey Arnold, very nice summary. I really respect the effort and research that you are putting into your project!!

I only recall the yellow lab trackers joining us a few times during my brief stint with the unit. Since their role was principally to “help” us maintain contact with an enemy in pursuit, I think many of us were a bit apprehensive about their effectiveness. Nevertheless, I recall one mission in the HoBo Woods, when the deployed elements went without water in 100+ degree heat for almost 24-hours. Repeated pleas to higher were rebuffed with criticism rather than relief. Fortunately for us, our assign tracker dog suffered from the heat and required MedEvac. Someone with brains thought to add a few black jerry cans of water for the primate elements of our team.

Hope all is well with you and yours in the sunny west. Have a great holiday!

Mike

I worked with a dog team one time. I was the point man and the dog and his handler were behind me. Nothing much happened that day and the dog found nothing. I have a story about that day if you want it.
