"The professional assessment team of the Israel Police came to the conclusion on the basis of experience and tests that certain operational limitations could be overcome and helped by finding and preparing dogs deployed along with other means to indicate explosive materials. The combination of these means to indicate explosive materials as part of our general deployment will prevent terrorist attacks and save lives."

"The prime minister's command office on Counter Terrorism endorses with blessing this initiative of Pups for Peace. In light of the difficult security situation and worsening threats, there is a need to accelerate integration of detection dogs into our security framework. Specifically, in the first stage we need to focus upon their integration into the security system for public transportation. We believe the integration of dogs into the security system for public transportation will add to the sense of security of the Israeli public."

"In recognition and appreciation of Outstanding Service For the last few years the State of Israel has been under a continuing threat of suicidal terror attacks that have caused many causalities, including large number of innocent civilians, the elderly, youth and babies. Pups for Peace as a non-profit organization, has dedicated itself to the purpose of assisting the State of Israel in the war against terror and in particular against suicide terrorist attacks, by training dogs to detect explosives, and presenting these dogs as a contribution to the State of Israel. There is no doubt that the activities of Pups for Peace provide additional security to the people of Israel, raise the general level of security everywhere that PFP is active, and instill confidence among the people in those areas. I would like to express thanks and appreciation to all who have taken part in this outstanding and important endeavor, and to those who continue to serve and contribute today."

"I applaud the initiative Pups for Peace...in (the) efforts to bring man's best friend to help in keeping Israeli citizens safe. ...Pups for Peace is a unique and innovative response to answering our growing need to protect the Israeli public. With existing security forces already stretched to the limit, the use of trained dogs, capable of detecting explosives and providing early warning of attacks is desperately needed and welcomed. Our goal in all of our security efforts is to enhance public safety wherever possible and provide peace of mind to Israelis be it at the supermarket, a disco, a cafe or on public transportation. Support of Pups for Peace is an important contribution to the safety and security of Israelis, and a wonderful opportunity to make a difference during the current crisis. With blessings from Jerusalem, and wishing you much success in your endeavor."

"After having carefully reviewed the Pups for Peace initiative, I decided to seek expert opinion of numerous Israeli security professionals with respect to the viability of the program. I am happy to report that the officials with whom I consulted were of the unanimous opinion that Pups for Peace holds immense potential both as a public safety measure and as a deterrent of terror. Following these consultations, I am convinced that the initiative should be embraced with the utmost seriousness and speed. It is clear to me that the successful implementation of Pups for Peace could effectively protect numerous Israeli public places with the most cutting-edge dog/handler teams not available. In addition, your initiative would also significantly reduce the strain upon the Working Dogs Unit of the IDF."

"...we are solidly behind Pups for Peace...Among its many advantages are its state of the art methods and its ability to provide a broad base of consistently trained dog/handler teams that could be deployed through Israel. I am sure this program can help the State of Israel to better cope with terrorist attacks and save lives."

"...I feel that this program will help us provide more security to the people of Israel. We are standing behind this program and its objectives. The potential of preventing further tragedies among Israel's citizenry and re-establishing a sense of security and peace of mind throughout the population is great."

"I have no doubt that the work of explosive sniffing dogs in the community can significantly reduce the dangers from terrorist attacks of this nature."

"We are very interested in pursuing the ideas set out in your Pups for Peace proposal. . . . . recent losses with the Working Dogs Unit and the unlimited areas in which their training is needed make your plan a highly desirable one to us. We foresee substantially extending this program in Israel once the pilot program is complete. We are most enthusiastic about the potential for expanding our Working Dogs Unit with your help. This unit is an integral part of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and its mission. We greatly appreciate your efforts to help the IDF in this way."

"I believe the Israel Police-Animal Section would be very much interested in getting 20-30 dogs, suitable for explosives detection, including a 60-90 cays course for 10 police officers, as assistance for our fight against terror."
