Ready for chow already?
Editor's Note:
Loyally serving alongside China’s soldiers, the PLA’s combat canines are trained to carry out special - and often dangerous - missions on the battlefield. Through their toil, they also form tight bonds and lasting friendships with their humans. Photos: photo.81.cn

All of the coolest dogs rappel from helicopters.
Hot dog, this is a bit scary, but I’ll make it!
Special delivery - an explosive for the enemy’s bunker!
I’ll help you wash up...
...if you wash me!
Rule number one: good friends drink together.
Jumping rope with my handler is part of our training. I love it!
There’s no secrets between my handler and I.
Looking good! (and our handlers aren’t so bad, either.)
I wanted to prevent my trainer from leaving, so I picked up his 20-kilogram bag and didn’t let go!
This year I’m being honorably discharged. I hate goodbyes, especially when I have to leave such caring comrades.
Let me hug you for the last time, my dear comrade!
Jut getting a last look at my comrades so I can always remember this great part of my life!
