By Zhao Lei | China Daily | Updated: 2015-02-06 07:30

Military dogs are to be used by the People's Liberation Army for combat operations, anti-terrorist tasks and riot control, according to a new regulation.

The regulation defines a military dog as "a special combatant and an irreplaceable military resource".

PLA Daily quoted an unnamed officer at the PLA General Staff Headquarters who oversees military dogs as saying that this means the military will use them for a wider range of missions, including combat operations.
