Allen Huseby: Sentry dog handler

We had people that didn’t really like dogs, but they made dog handlers out of all of us.

Allen Huseby was a sentry dog handler during the Vietnam War. Allen and his dog, Hans, used to walk the perimeter of a helicopter base each evening looking for anything out of the ordinary.
