“Some warn that America’s freedom, like all things human, may crumble into dust.

Which is another way of saying America produces self-effacing heroes like last weekend’s hunting companions.”

Turns out just when we thought there was nothing cooler than a Navy SEAL we were proved wrong. Meet the Navy SEAL dog. Sure by now you have seen them jumping out of planes or on the battle field, but tonight on World News we will show you the training that makes these dogs one of the military’s strongest weapons.
U.S. Navy SEAL, Mike Forsythe, and his dog, Cara — pictured above — recently broke the world record for “highest man/dog parachute deployment” by jumping from 30,100 feet.
