Total War

This chapter was all about war, and what different militaries did to stop the infected. The part that stuck out the most to me, was in an interview with a man named Darnell Hackworth, in Ainsworth, Nebraska. He runs a retirement farm for the K-9 corps. Dogs were used in wars to sniff out the dead and protect their partner. Hackworth was very fond of the dogs, and loved them very much. So the part that stuck out most to me was that he said he used to hate dogs, and that at one point, he listened to puppies who were abandoned in a pet store die off slowly one by one. He now wishes he had done something about it and saved the puppies. A part in this chapter that kind of scared me and made me a little upset was just a little fact Hackworth had stated about dogs who had gotten too close to the dead. They strapped an explosive to the dogs harness, so if they didn't think there was any chance to save the dog, they would put them out of their misery and blow them up. Thankfully, he said they didn't do this. Although it may have been better for them to die immediately and feel no pain than to be eaten alive by the dead.
