PETER CAVE: The soldiers of the security detachment also have another secret weapon.
What is the story with this black dog that's been following us all day?
MAJOR MARK HORN: The dog's name is Anthrax. I believe it got its name when it was kicked out on the front gutter.
One of the fellows made a joke over the radio, saying it might be a weapon of biological warfare and another fellow laughed and said, "Ha, ha, it's Anthrax", and that was that.
PETER CAVE: So he's been known as Anthrax ever since?
MAJOR MARK HORN: Her name is Anthrax.
PETER CAVE: She patrols with you every day?
MAJOR MARK HORN: Not every day but, yeah, she does come out on patrol on occasion, and in actual fact, the locals seem to have taken to that quite nicely and they all look for her on occasion as well.
