      Way too many dogs were left in Nam 😔 my grandfather tried to bring his Rottweiler home in the end but wasn't allowed.. They said it was too much of a liability to allow dogs "trained to kill" to go into normal homes after 🤦 thankfully though, they've changed that & now most of the dogs get to live out their retirement ! I don't think just ANYBODY should be able to keep dogs like that though. Should be a handler they're already comfortable with OR, someone who at least has the experience to handle a dog like that.

    We adopted a retired military police dog & she saved us from a home invasion. We always fed her people food prepared for her & she couldn’t handle being in a crate so she had free roam of our house & yard. She went everywhere with us. Bailey was a once in a lifetime dog. Thank you Chris.

    "See the country you've been defending"... that struck something in my heart, and I'm not even American. If only the dog knew how vital his role was, he could have been so proud of himself. Nevertheless, he's proud with knowing he satisfied commands though he didn't knew how many lives he saved. We are all proud of you, hero dog.

    I’m so overjoyed that this brave dog was reunited with the soldier who served our country together. It made me cry. All of these military service dogs should never be left behind; as is THE BIG OFFENSE IN KABUL. Over 150 dogs were put in cages in the staggering heat and left behind. Please contact PETA and send them your comments and outrage regarding decisions made by commanders who have never been involved on the ground fighting for our involvement in countries that don’t even want us to be involved with their conflict.
    THIS IS AN ATROCIOUS SITUATION AND WE ALL NEED TO REACH OUT TO STOP THESE PROCEDURAL PROBLEMS.
    This is a joyful, sweet reunion. Let our soldiers who served in Afghanistan be reunited with their best pals who served alongside them.

      I agree so much with that. From what I've read, the dogs are in at least as much danger as their handlers. They should go home together, and maybe they can, as a team, join the National Guard together. But definitely they will help their partner handle the transition to home life. It helps them both.

      I totally agree. That little boy is who the dog saw as his little man. Same thing happened with a german shepard pup I bought for myself. Had her at 5wks old an after injection period I started training her one on one for months. Yet first time out as a family with my 3 kids. She choose my youngest son who was a 16month old toddler. She followed him everywhere an took him to bed if he fell asleep on the rug. She would slide herslf under him an gently carry him to bed. Id see neither till breakfast. I may have lost my dog to him. Yet that beautiful friendship lasted 14yrs till she passed 3 years ago. My son would love another GSD now. Its taken this long for him to get over his broken heart. Yet Tasha protected my baby from any harm including 3 dog attacks by 2 staffies an 1 huge rottie who she ripped to shreds as it was sent on Tash an she was stood next to my then 2yr old so she was still a pup herself. She may have killed that rottie but if she hadnt it could have been my son who got hurt as he had her lead. She lay down as rottie charged at her till it was nearly infront of her the rose to seize its throat. One bite kill. She earned a big T-bone that day. When dogs an kids bond its astounding to see. R.I.P our beautiful Tasha. Always missed yet NEVER forgotten 😭😭😭💔💔💔💕💕
