This 2012 publicity photo provided by Animal Planet shows a soldier and a military working dog in Afghanistan. Animal Planet embedded four camera crews with front-line troops for six weeks to create a television special called "Glory Hounds." Each crew was assigned to a handler and his dog, and the show set out to prove that dogs were more than military "tools." "Glory Hounds" airs Thursday at 8 p.m. ET/PT and repeats on Sunday at 9 a.m. ET/PT.
