Many abused afghan dogs were discovered at the Kabul International Airport after the U.S troops evacuated. Authorities speculated that perhaps these dogs belong to the military. However, the Pentagon denied the claims.
Regardless of where the dogs came from, the airport staff volunteered to care for the abused afghan dogs and train them for a new life.
The abused afghan dogs are now in good hands and receiving food, water, and a safe shelter.

Hewad Azizi, a member of the airport security staff, and his colleagues are training the dogs for their hidden skills. They’ve discovered that most dogs are good at detecting bombs.
“When I saw [the soldiers leaving], I went to save the dogs,” Azizi said. “We have done training with them to find out what they are used for exactly.”
If the airport staff had not found the abused afghan dogs in time, they could have died from hunger or heat.
The staff is training the dogs to be beneficial and fun. Azizi is training a Belgian Malinois named Rex. Rex is a pro at sniffing boxes for explosives. Every time Rex smells correctly, he gets a reward.
“We have different dogs here. Narcotic dogs or drug dogs and explosive or bomb dogs,” said K9 supervisor Mohamad Mourid.
“We’re training with different materials with them. Now we keep them here. We look, we train, we see how we can use them on the ground.”
