Sgt. Victoria Fuentes, an animal care specialist (68T) with the 64th Medical Detachment VSS, took an active role in the K9 TCCC training event at Rhine Ordnance Barracks on August 19th, helping to "train the trainers" to take care of injured military working dogs. She taught individual skills training classes on topics like massive hemorrhage assessment and bleeding control, and assisted with grading during the practice scenarios. "This training is my favorite because military working dogs are my most favorite part of this job," Fuentes said. "Teaching the medical aspect, how to provide care for them, is more meaningful to me because if these dogs are going out there and deploying, we know that as long as we do the training right, they're going to be taken care of on the battlefield."
