a lot of airborne units have parachuting mascots, one of the platoons in the 82nd even had a turtle that would jump! if you ever get a dog that needs to be kitted out again, there are now "doggles" that you can get. even my pup has a pair of them.
I have been lowered out of helicopters with a Newfie between my legs for search and rescue missions, so I completely get the whole working dog bit!
