A new $15 million hospital opened in San Antonio, Texas to care for dogs wounded in combat.
"We act as the Walter Reed of the veterinary world," said Army Col. Bob Vogelsang, hospital director, referring to the Washington military medical center that treats severely wounded troops.
Before the new facility opened, dogs were previously treated in a facility that opened in 1968. Since Sept. 11, 2001, demand for combat-ready dogs has increased dramatically. They currently also train dogs at the Lackland Air Force Base where the hospital is located.
