I saw a thing about combat dogs the seals used. I guess they even have titanium teeth implants.

Looks cool, a lot of gang bangers do the same.

The Ti teeth are used as a replacement for when a dog has a chipped tooth.

As a member of People Eating Tasty Animals I can say that dog is not that tasty and should remain as combat enhancing assets.

They usually just do the canines. Titanium is non magnetic, extremely strong, not prone to corrosion, and very light weight. I actually read a piece written about a police dog that had this procedure who went from avoiding eating and certainly attacking, to being more than happy to chomp just about anything.

It's not just for dogs though...
