The purpose of "Hounds for
Heroes" is to provide specially trained assistance dogs to injured
and disabled men and women of both the UK Armed Forces and Civilian
Emergency Services.
In Southern Afghanistan,
where desert meets mountains, lies the small rural market town of
Now Zad. Here during late 2006 a group of Royal Marines attempted to
give shelter to several stray dogs. The choice of leaving them to
fend for themselves was not an option, the dogs were scared, lonely
and in a poor state of health.
