Blabrador
In 2001, a black Labrador Retriever-English Springer Spaniel mix was born and named Treo. At first, as a pup, he lived a normal life in a family house. However, Treo’s owners said that he is a rebellious personality and couldn’t be taught at home. Their complaint was regarding his furious nature towards anyone and everyone, including strangers, guests, and sometimes family members too. Treo’s owner then made a decision that will change the little pup’s life forever!
For additional information, the furious nature of pups is very common and can be easily supervised before they start behaving aggressively. If trained and pampered properly they can be molded into the kind of companion you are looking for.
Leave The Family
When Treo’s owners were completely fed-up of him as he was always overloaded with energy and gets into trouble every now and then, they decided to leave him. But unlike many irresponsible owners, they were not going to abandon him on the roads nor they were thinking to leave him in a shelter. After all, Treo was too cute to stay at any of the shelters, plus his owner wanted him to be in the right hands who can teach or train him. Treo’s family doubted that the volunteers at the shelter will be able to keep him calm. So they had to find a better option for him.
Off To The Army
Treo’s owner decided to donate the pup to the military to get him to unravel. That’s how Treo new journey started when he joined the army a completely different schedule from the rest of the ordinary pet dogs. Treo was eligible to join the army, he needed a lot of training though. The pup was all set for this distinct job. However, Treo wasn’t the first dog to get into the army he shook the world with his superpowers.
Poochs Everywhere
Dogs have been unofficially a part of most of the major wars held in human history. World War II gave dogs a rightful status in the army. Nowadays, army’s Defense Animal Center, East Leicestershire, United Kingdom, the center for Royal Army Veterinary Corps. trains more than 300 dogs each year. Many of these dogs are donated to the army like Treo while rest are purchased on the basis of the army requirement.
Treo, the black Labrador retriever was now up for a 4 to 6 months long training but it’s not an easy task to get going with the training.
Tough Training
The training is grueling and many dogs aren’t qualified for joining the army. Looking at Treo’s nature it was not quite certain that he’ll be selected. The dogs are trained as detecting experts to sniff off the drugs and bombs. Once they become professional in their jobs they’re assigned to different posts with a handler to look after them. Treo’s career in army seemed in doubts on the basis of his first few weeks of training but it didn’t take much time to change everyone’s mindset about him.
Remarkable Comeback
Due to his misbehavior, everyone assumed that Treo wouldn’t be able to make it till the end of the training. Not only the last couple of weeks changed everyone’s perception of him as an erratic pooch also he became one of the best professional dogs by the end of the training. This was just a training and Treo was now ready to speed up in real life and war situations.
