And still on the theme of washing dogs to raise funds … A Baltimore pet spa raised funds recently for military dogs:
there are more than 1,000 military dogs deployed worldwide, including around 700 in Iraq and Afghanistan. Among the supplies being sent are protective goggles that the dogs wear while sniffing out roadside bombs, cooling beds, and more traditional items such as chew toys.

I have no experience with military dogs. Can any of our readers explain how the goggles protect a dog? Is it from dust, or glare? Because if a bomb went off, I don’t think goggles would help much.
