Staff Sgt. Scott Pfister and Ffella, his 4-year-old female Belgian Malinois, search a truck at Manas Air Base, Kyrgyzstan. Sergeant Pfister, a military working dog handler with the 376th Expeditionary Security Forces Squadron, and Ffella have worked together more than two years. They are deployed from the 9th SFS at Beale Air Force Base, Calif. Ffella gets her unique name from the Air Force's dog breeding program at Lackland AFB, Texas. All dogs bred through the program are identified with a double first letter in their name. (U.S. Air Force photo/Master Sgt. Mitch Gettle)
