Amaya, the Military, and Dogs

The military recently came up during a conversation that John and I were having with Amaya.

Amaya: What's the military?

Mom: The military is a group of men and women who have chosen to protect and serve our country. Some do it here in the United States, and some do it in other parts of the world where it can be really dangerous. Lots of them make a lot of sacrifices to protect the freedom we have in this country.

Amaya: Why do we need people for that (with an astounded look on her face)? We have dogs to do that!

Watch out world! Our six year old, slightly overweight, 'I bark only at chipmunks' chocolate lab is coming to protect you.
