Thank you
Together we’ve survived another shift, another day, another insurgency.
Sometimes I feel all alone; you are there to comfort me. As we maneuver through our days, we avoid certain death. Yet, here you are: Patient, kind, comforting me.
Our bodies are tired, our feet ache. We have weeks left together, then you’ll go home to your family. You say you’ll try to take me and I have to believe it will happen. I cannot imagine my life without you.
The sweet hugs, gentle kisses, and your loving care is all I have known. It’s you and me together. Forever.
Thank you.

Awww, this is so touching! The POV of a dog to his master in a war zone. It really touched my heart! Wonderful story!

Great from the dogs POV. So sad, that the soldier going home can’t fake him, after what they’ve been through. But I suppose, it’s the dog’s fate to help another soldier.

I know many of the dogs have long separations to move through the red tape and be reunited, but many do {making friends, and healing hearts} along the way. Thank you so much for your kind words 🙂
