  • damnshoes, on 06/26/2009, -2/+18OM NOM NOM NOM
  • wkdblueuk, on 06/26/2009, -1/+13In this case it is not fiction - I happen to serve in the corps who use the dogs. You may want to reconsider jumping to conclusions
  • TobiasParker, on 06/26/2009, -0/+11It wasn't a bomb, it was a chemical component to the bomb.
  • Raptor007, on 06/26/2009, -1/+10I immediately imagined one of those Tom & Jerry cartoons where a bomb goes off in someone's stomach and the only visible effect is smoke coming out their ears.
  • atgmac, on 06/26/2009, -0/+8BOOM!
  • Calamier, on 06/26/2009, -1/+9This dog is the bomb!

    ....no....seriously....
  • wkdblueuk, on 06/26/2009, -0/+5idiot no it's not, I serve in the R.A.V.C in the British Army and that story is very much true. Our dogs search for explosives and as dogs sometimes do, they swallow things they shouldn't
  • trogdor1289, on 06/26/2009, -0/+5Fail this was the British military.
  • Feener, on 06/26/2009, -0/+4Is the dog scared to death with the oxygen mask on or just high as a kite?
  • pungu, on 06/26/2009, -0/+3Super Dog!
  • sprkoolguy, on 06/26/2009, -0/+3fly around in space sitting on keyboards
  • seanayb, on 06/26/2009, -0/+3That's a GOOD boy! Eat that bomb.
  • drex8, on 06/26/2009, -0/+3They make us laugh..e.g. lolcats. People make memes out of them.
  • Raptor007, on 06/26/2009, -1/+4BOMB NOM NOM NOM
  • MrBogard, on 06/27/2009, -0/+3I remember your comment.
  • StutterMilk, on 06/26/2009, -1/+3And you thought YOUR dog had explosive *****.
  • Cheesepuffly, on 06/27/2009, -0/+1He is right, cats are just about as good as dogs at stuff dogs do. But they are smaller, and less interested.
  • Cheesepuffly, on 06/27/2009, -0/+1Who didn't...
  • inactive, on 06/26/2009, -0/+1as long as he doesn't take a ***** and then try to eat it later.
  • protogenxl, on 06/26/2009, -1/+2Reno 911 did it first.

  • cygnus2112, on 06/26/2009, -1/+2DOG GONE IT!
  • Cheesepuffly, on 06/27/2009, -0/+1I remember not remembering.
  • strictnein, on 06/27/2009, -0/+1I see why you had to use a URL shortening service. You were linking to ***** central, aka Indymedia. The strange this is that the final URL was:
    http://sydney.indymedia.org.au/files/sydimc/images ...

    Did you upload a pic of an explosion and then rename it to Exploding Dog.jpg? Are dogs being killed funny to you?
  • dupems, on 06/27/2009, -0/+1*BURP FIRE*
    That's a spicy meat-a-ball!
  • Jrapp1187, on 06/26/2009, -1/+2They detonate the landmines. Sorry, don't like cats.
  • Spectre77, on 06/27/2009, -1/+2He really woofed that thing down.
  • Jrapp1187, on 06/26/2009, -0/+1Lol.
  • inactive, on 06/27/2009, -0/+1Wait to play someone off on the keyboard.
  • tehknotte, on 08/31/2009, -0/+1We don't remember anything from last night, remember?
  • tehknotte, on 08/31/2009, -0/+1wolfed*?
  • Jrapp1187, on 06/26/2009, -0/+0I remember that episode.

    Directed by Michael Bay.
  • Sharkey1337, on 06/26/2009, -0/+0Well they mentioned brain swelling, so his eyes are most likely being pushed out of his skull>,<
  • Sharkey1337, on 06/26/2009, -0/+0"Dogs can't look up!"
  • inactive, on 06/26/2009, -1/+1Dogs serve in the Military?.

    And what the hell do cats do?.
  • 0m1n0us, on 06/27/2009, -0/+0Looks like he was tripping balls in the 2nd pic..
  • elliotys, on 06/26/2009, -3/+2Actually I like jumping to conclusions. In fact I'm working on a patent for a " jump to conclusions" floor mat. It is sure to make a profit, because no one has ever thought of it before : /
  • waydee, on 06/26/2009, -2/+1I predict explosive diarrhoea
  • sb66, on 06/26/2009, -2/+1Was it evil to think of sticking a firecracker in his ass?

    But seriously, glad he's ok.
  • hybridcreation, on 06/26/2009, -2/+1His next ***** is going to give a new meaning to "dropping bombs".
  • Inceptious, on 06/26/2009, -2/+1Did the dog also get hit by a meteorite on the way home? Yet another DailyFail fabrication...yawn.
  • inferno10, on 06/26/2009, -2/+1BOM
  • inactive, on 06/30/2009, -1/+0..at least we know they're making quality bombs :)
  • boydrew, on 06/26/2009, -3/+2call me horrible, but if the dog ate an explosive, wouldn't you want to get away from it? So I think this article is BS.


    I'm thinking that it had to have (just) been hazardous material and I am glad the dog is a-ok
