Joanne,
While doing photography work for the USAF, i was lucky enough to do both studio and field work photos of these dogs and their handlers. The animals come back shell shocked. It is a very difficult task for them. Hugging the dogs a lot by their handlers gets them back into their normal doggie behavior.
Be well
Laurence
