What can you infer from these sentences from the story? “So Jim Skinner was a canine handler back in the Air Force in the late '70s and early '80s. He was working in the Philippines. And the dog that he was with was actually getting up there in age, and so he knew that it wasn't going to be passed on to another handler, most likely. And so he extended his tour several times so that he could stay with his dog, whose name was Jessie.”

The only opportunities for Air Force canine handlers are in the Philippines.

The Air Force did not allow retired dogs to stay with their handlers in the ‘80s.

Jim Skinner did not think another canine handler could handle his dog Jessie.

Jim Skinner brought his pet dog Jessie along when he toured the Philippines.

The Air Force did not allow retired dogs to stay with their handlers in the ‘80s.

Explanation:

The issue of canine/K-9 dogs being adopted by their handlers had only been recently changed when President Bill Clinton signed "Robby's Law" in 2000. Before that, all retired K-9 dogs were euthanized, with no option of it being adopted by anyone, even their own handlers.

In the given passage, Jim Skinner knew that his canine dog was getting old and would probably be given the 'go' after him. The statement "he knew that it wasn't going to be passed on to another handler, most likely" suggests that there is no future for the dog and most likely won't be given another handler. So, Skinner decided to spend or extend his service several times just to spend time with the dog and also, indirectly prolonging or sustaining the old dog's life.

Thus, the correct answer is that the Air Force did not allow their retired canine dogs to be adopted or to stay with their handlers in the 1980s.
