Cairo The Military Dog Cairo is a Belgian Malinois that was bred to be a military dog. Malinois were a very unfamiliar shepherd breed outside of Belgian until Cairo’s story became news. Navy SEAL Will Chesney first met his military working dog named Cairo in 2008. They went on a seven-week training camp in California. Cairo learned how to attack a target, to bite and release on command, to skydive, to sniff out weapons and improvised explosive devices, and to move quickly and quietly through unforgiving terrain. Cairo proved to be obedient and intelligent and ready for action. In June 2009 they were deployed to Afghanistan. During a mission that involved heavy firefight with insurgents, Cairo was shot in the chest and front leg. The call went over the radio. “FWIAI” - friendly wounded in action. There was no distinction between human and canine. Cairo was a SEAL. He survived, and in May 2011 Cairo was the only dog to accompany a Navy SEAL team to Pakistan in search of Osama bin Laden. He sat in the Black Hawk helicopter—wearing a vest and night vision goggles—with another 11 Navy SEALS as they descended upon Osama bin Laden’s compound in what would come to be known as Operation Neptune Spear. The raid on Bin Laden’s compounds was supposed to have taken 15 minutes but the helicopter malfunctioned and instead of landing gently it landed heavily, spoiling the element of surprise. The noise woke everyone up in the compound and they rushed outside. Cairo helped to secure the perimeter, barking furiously and forcing people to retreat while the SEALS stormed the compound. Thirty—eight minutes later, Bin Laden was dead and Cairo and the SEALS were on their way back home. The members of the SEAL team and Cairo became national heroes. 23

How to Play Suduko Sudoku is a puzzle involving logic - no arithmetic or guessing is required! The basic idea of completing puzzles is to find cells (the small squares) where you are sure that only one value is a valid placement. The Basics The rules of Sudoku are that you should fill a number in to every cell in the grid, using the numbers 1 to 9. The restriction is that you can only use each number once in each row, each column, and in each of the 3 x 3 boxes.

Horse Trivia Source: GoldenCarers.com There are an estimated 75 million horses in the world. The smallest horse in the world is the South American Falabellas averaging 32 inches / 78 cms and the tallest the Shire from England averaging 5.8 feet or 178 cms. Arabian horses have one less rib, one less lumbar bone, and one or two fewer tail vertebrae than other horses. Brumbies are free-roaming wild horses in Australia. They are in great number in the Australian Alps region in South-Eastern Australia. Horse riding in the U.K. is more popular than rugby, fishing and cricket. 4.6 million Americans are involved in the equine industry as horse owners, service providers, employees and volunteers. Tens of millions more participate as spectators. Mustangs are a breed of horse that roam wild in North America. They are related to the horses the Spanish brought to North America 400 years ago. Wild horses in New Zealand are called 'Kaimanawa'; they are domestic horses released in the 19th and 20 centuries. About Horses and American Indians In 1540 the Spanish introduced horses into America. Some escaped and became wild horses. In the 1600s Spanish missionaries and settlers made their home in New Mexico, west of Texas. The Spanish used the Indians as slaves and workers. The slaves and workers soon learned to work with horses; training and riding them, but at that time there was a law that prohibited Indians to have horses and guns. In 1680 the Indians revolted against the Spanish and drove them off their land and back to Old Mexico. The Indians then started to use the horses like the Spanish; breeding them and teaching other tribes to ride them so they could trade them. The horses changed life for the Indians; when before they hunted buffalos on foot, they now had horses. They now could keep up with a running buffalo and get close enough to shoot the beasts with arrows. 29
