Just like their human counterparts, military dogs are often exposed to incredibly loud noises while in combat which can often cause significant hearing damage.
Everything from helicopters to gunfire can pose a serious risk to a dog's ears, but thankfully the U.S. Army is now offering their hardworking pups some much-needed protection.
According to Popular Mechanics, the military has developed an innovative and advanced new piece of combat armor for working dogs in an effort to protect their ears and prevent hearing loss.
