Are there any military jobs in which I could work with an animal? (ex: attack dog or something)

Security Forces (attack dogs).

Cavalry, with horses.
Search and Rescue, dogs
Drug Enforcement, dogs
Communications, pigeons ;p

The Navy works with dolphins

I think they really do have (or had) dolphins that search for mines in the oceans.

DAMMIT.

Elephant Warriors.

@simone54 =Þ

Security Forces (Air Force) K9 handler. You have to be an NCO to be one though. That dog basically becomes your partner – it can be easy to become attached.

Uh, @simone54 ? I saw a movie about that once, Day of the Dolphin. And I read a book once; A Deeper Sea. Both were fiction. The navy does however, have a security force, and some of them have canines, mostly for sniffing explosives, I believe. The Army has Veterinarians. I don’t know about the other two branches.

Check this out . .seals and sea lions with dolphins . US Navy Marine Mammal Program

@njnyjobs I stand corrected. Thank you.

Infantry, with marines.

I saw something on the military channel once about something they had designed to weaponize a dolphin or a porpoise

@Ansible1 . . . during WWII, they actually used rats as weapons. . . the trick was loading up dead rats with explosives and laying them around enemy buildings. when the custodians clean-up around the building and collect the dead rats, they just simply throw them all in the building boiler that heats-up the place…. and guess what happens . . .

Here is an excellent article on jobs working with animals in the private sector, including the department of justice working dogs. For information about military working dogs, see this one.
