aw lee, just had to tease you.........
we have neighbors across the street at the suburb res..........she was a navy dog handler, (iraq) and he was army.......on a team that accompanied the naval dog handlers for house to house or other searches.....(iraq).
amazing stories from these two. she doesn't talk much about it, and he does only when we ask. one of the dogs they own, a black lab, was one of the dogs she worked with. the lab was to be put down because of a bombing incident, and was never the same. the husband went through a great deal of trouble and brought the lab back for her from iraq as a gift. she tells me, he couldn't bear to see the dog put down. they worked with him. anyway, i watch their dogs from time to time, the lab is a very gentle animal, very protective of them both, but more so her.
amazing history of this lab.....and i am eternally grateful to anyone who has served or is in military service.
