Man’s best friend

Explosive Detection Dog and Handler sculpture at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra Australia. You can actually see an IED represented in the wall - under the dog - and to the soldiers right.

 

Produced by Ewen Coates in 2015, this sculpture commentates the service and experience of EDDs and their handlers from Australia’s participation in the conflict in Afghanistan.

 

Someone has placed purple poppy on the sculpture- near the dog. The purple poppy is a symbol of remembrance in the United Kingdom and Australia for animals that served during wartime.
