Paws below zero
Cage, a 354th Security Forces Squadron military working dog (MWD), takes a break after working on basic commands in preparation for a building sweep March 7, 2016, at Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska. With below zero temperatures possible for more than half the year, MWD handlers break up training and sweeps between indoor and outdoor locations to protect the K-9’s unprotected paws.
