"Lady was a German Shepard pup that was taken to Vietnam by a crew member of an off shore oil rig.  When told that he could not keep a dog on the rig, Lady was sent to the MP K9 company.

     I was told that she received the full scout dog training and was put into service as a scout dog (but never appeared on any official books).  There were rumors that she was used to produce "pure bred" pups which were sold to various units.

    When it was learned that the dog company was selling dogs, the Inspector General was sent to investigate. As the IG’s helicopter was landing, Lady was taking off in another ship.

     I received a call from CPT Charles E. Hobbs of the 212th MP Company (Sentry Dog) asking if I wanted a scout dog.  By the time I said "yes", Lady was landing.

     Lady became part of the 615th and was transferred (with me) to Bien Hoa when I became Deputy Provost Marshal. Lady ended up saving my life twice and I had an opportunity to return the favor for her.
