Well, it sounds like they already have more applicants than dogs, which is a good sign. I'm sure the adoption agencies aren't going to just give these dogs to unqualified people. You do have to take the "War Dog" title carefully, of course - anyone who doesn't understand what that means and gets the mental image of some mad murdering canine should definitely be banned from owning any kind of dogs in the first place.

As far as I'm concerned, people should by default be banned from owning any kind of dogs unless they have passed some sort of test. Owning a dog is not a civil right but a privilege. It's a freaking living being, it shouldn't be taken for granted that anyone can take care of one. Especially when a dog can easily be dangerous as well and there are people out there who specifically want them to be dangerous. Or I think the correct definition would be "mentally retarded like their owners". Dogs with a proper special training are of course a different matter.

OK, end of rant. I trust the agencies know what they are doing. And keep hoping that one day this scenario from a comic would become reality.
