Navy Seal Dog (ticker: HUTCH): A combat assault dog named ‘Chief Hutch’ retired from military service at Joint Base Little Creek-Fort Story, June 24, 2023. Hutch, a Belgian Malinois trained to detect explosives and other dangerous materials, worked alongside naval special warfare operators for five years and deployed twice to East Africa. At his final demonstration, he was tasked with apprehending a simulated opposing force during the exercise. As he would do if called upon during combat, he rushed the enemy and took him down, allowing his handler and teammates time to close distance and assess the situation. Hutch was retired in front of a crowd of current and former SEAL team members by Cmdr. Bryan Jennings.
