Dogs are angels in disguise and true warriors and friends They protect us from danger, even to the point of sacrifice and lift our spirits when we are in a dark place. Lucca you will live on through the hearts and minds of all the brave boys you've served with, and protected long after you've gone. You deserve the honour of being called a true hero
its crazy to think when a dog loses a leg they don't skip a beat, mentally or physically...but when a human loses a leg, it takes years for them to accept it.
When an animal is handicapped, they do what they can and do not do what they know they cannot. Some humans spend too much time feeling sorry for themselves instead of moving on to do what they’re able to do.
Lucca You are such a Beautiful and Cherished Marine. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE now Enjoy your retired Life. You have an Amazing Spirit n Touched All Our Hearts. Bless You Lucca xxxx
It does not matter whether you have two legs or four legs, nor does it matter if one is human and one is canine. Both put their lives on the line to make others safe, to make sure that people would be able to go home to their loved ones and to live the life that they should. Lucca, we thank you for your time, service and sacrifice for your country. One day, when time will move on, people will look back at the hero, the legend that is Lucca, forever to be remembered as a true HERO.
It was impossible not to break down into tears with this video! 3 legged or 4, Lucca is a hero who showed outstanding courage and bravery. Semper Fi Marine, I salute you!
Momma Lucca is back with her daddy Marine Chris Willingham! Lucca was always one of the most friendly military dogs in service. Did her job extremely well, but always knew how to turn it off too. Very rare quality with MWD.
I am just finishing the book all about Lucca "Top Dog the Story of Marine Hero Lucca" by Maria Goodavage - 3 wonderful American Heroes - Lucca and her 2 handlers! God bless them all.
I believe no warriors were lost on her watch! No warriors! We owe these four legged warriors the best of everything. There is no thanks enough. Lucca by any standard you are nothing short of an Angel on earth. Now you watch over us and from what I have read and seen .. we were beyond blessed to have you on this earth and it’s beautiful to know we have you on guard at the Rainbow 🌈 Bridge! RIP
I am 62 and crying. I actually was blessed to get a taste of helping to train a sniffer canine. They are truly amazing beings! I hope she is living the good life.
Thank you to all canines, now let us reunited All of the with their original handlers. In the past they were baggage and shot before military were returned but the fight isn' over as soon many are handed off to any department with shields. They are retired, their age is retired and all have returned with the right to be with their loved ones. Animals and humans must live with PTSD. Join and give these humans and animals with the rights they deserve.
When Cpl Rodriguez first started working with Lucca Sgt Willingham hid in the woods nearby to watch and see how well they worked together. She sniffed him right out. He was busted and laughed at himself for thinking he could hide nearby without her detecting him. It's in the book about Lucca called Top Dog.
This was a beautiful story about a dog who saved lives and brought all these people together, in love and fellowship. They bring out the best in all of us, but we don't deserve dogs.
CONGRATULATIONS Lucca for your service and a job well done ! ! And to you younger for your service and commitment to your Country and fellow servicemen ! ! God Bless you Both ! ❤🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤
brings tears to my eyes. the dog will never forget its first owner or its second. I miss my shepherd so much first one was hit by a car on Father's Day when she escaped from the yard and the second one had to be put down because her hips went out doing that with the hardest thing I could ever do I miss them so much
This is heart warming, it just touch your soul, what a true hero, who will take a bullet for you. She deserves to be love and well taken care off as long she on earth.
Lady Lucca and 2 wonderful and kind men. She deserves a good retirement. My heart is breaking for Corp. Rodriguez. He did a good thing and kept her safe and well.
Salute to Corp Rodriguez to save Lucca in return to how Lucca saved many soldiers life...I know how Corp Rodriguez feels of letting Lucca go.. but he has done great for Lucca to give her the best life she can have..
God bless all our Military Working Dog and Thank You K9 Lucca you are so brave and I know since this aired you have crossed the Rainbow bridge 🌈 And you earned your wings god bless and you are missed 😢💔🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️❤️❤️❤️🐾🐾🐾🐾
I truly appreciate the way marines treat their dogs. They get the same treatment. That's how it should be. They're working just as hard in the same fight
How many onions are we chopping here. My eyes can't stop watering. Bless canine Luca and Cpl Rodriguez . Thank you both for your Exemplary service to this GREAT NATION I call 🏡.
This dog is wonderful.Wonderful,very strong and brave 💚😘🐾🐕🏅Bravo Hero dog. True Hero dog...dear Lucca !🐾🙏🙏 Great respect 🕊️ Dear Lucca...rest in peace 🕊️🕯️
According to Wikipedia Luca died in 2018. She was born in 2003 or 2004 so she lived a good while for a large purebred dog. I think she was able to enjoy about 4 years of retirement. After world war I and world war II and also vietnam, MWDs we're left 'in country' were killed. It's so good that we don't do that anymore.
Thats it im gone 😭😭 i thank you Lucca for your service and i thank you for keeping all those troops save may god bless you with a long and happy life and a well deserved retirement 💖💖

It helps when you have 4 legs and not 2.
When an animal is handicapped, they do what they can and do not do what they know they cannot. Some humans spend too much time feeling sorry for themselves instead of moving on to do what they’re able to do.

She knew who he was greeted with warm kisses

After world war I and world war II and also vietnam, MWDs we're left 'in country' were killed. It's so good that we don't do that anymore.
My salute to the angel who by default born in the Earth as an animal and served for the people .
I am sure that Lucca will be reincarnated as a perfect human in next life.
Love these dogs, we train Hero Pups here in NH. The Best for our Vets & First Responders
