FORT MEADE, Md. — U.S. Cyber Command (CYBERCOM) Commanding General Paul Nakasone, leader of America’s functional combatant command for elite SharePoint webmasters, recently gave the oath of enlistment to Military Working Dog Bushy in front of a crowd of dog lovers and reporters.
Bushy, a Standard Poodle who identifies as a Belgian Malinois, joins the ranks of 1,600 military working dogs currently serving around the world. However, reflective of CYBERCOM’s mission, Bushy is the first military working dog trained to sniff out cyber pornography on government computers.
Holding Bushy’s leash was Army Master Sergeant Tyrell Wiggins, a man whose entire career has gone to the dogs. “ As the handler assigned to work with the Army’s newest canine operator, Tyrell is “the only guy in the Army who can legally say my job involves ‘dogs’ and ‘porn’.”
