Well the question is - why would you think it's fake?

You can't abitrarily dismiss something just because you would think no one in their right mind would do such a thing - especially an American soldier.

As for AZ's assessment, if you've dealt with dogs - holding them by the scruff of the neck is normal and some breeds are docile - so that fact that it wasn't moving is not proof.

The yelping sound - in a box canyon can do funny things. I'll touch on that in a moment. Dogs yelp we they are hurt - but also when they are scared. What dog wouldn't be flying through the air?

As for dogs in the desert - there are plenty. Even in the middle east.

But if you watch the video - the way the body flies - if it were fake it wouldn't wobble from the dog kicking it's legs trying to save itself. Fake stuffed animals "float" funny - just like in the movies when they toss a body off a building - you can tell a fake from a real stunt double.

So the only two possible conclusions you can get is that it was alive or it was already dead and then you have an explanation to the yelping sound not fitting. Perhaps they found a dead puppy and decided to pull a prank - would also explain the way the one soldier acted when he was about to pet it - he pulled back - because it was already dead??

Either way it's not good imagery to send out to the world. Even throwing dead puppies off a cliff is seriously wrong...[&o]
