When Ore went out to Afghanistan he didn't just meet the humans who live on the British military camps...
Meet Duke. He's a sniffer dog who works in Camp Bastion. It's his job to check all the vehicles coming into and out of the base.
He's been trained to sniff out explosives which outsiders might be trying to smuggle into the camps.
He lives on the base with his handler Private Sititson. But he isn't the only hound who's giving the military a paw in Afghanistan...
This is Troy - he's helping the army in a different way. He's an arms explosive search dog.
Instead of staying on the base like Duke, Troy helps soldiers out on the front-line by sniffing out any weapons that might have hidden by the Taliban.
Having a dog on the front-line isn't a new idea. Pooches have been used to help armies since before the Romans!
