Vocativ: The Dogs of War: The Remarkable Effort to Care for Canines in Afghanistan
For the last 35 years, endless conflict and war has caused Afghanistan's stray dog population to grow out of control. Exposed to extreme weather, traffic accidents, and hunger, these dogs are maligned by many in Afghan society for spreading diseases like rabies. Now, in a remarkable effort, a small group of ex-pats and locals have begun caring for the animals. Role: Field Producer/Post Producer
