CoCo the Blogging Dog would like to recognize Marine Major Brian Dennis for saving a stray dog's life in Iraq. Initially, this German Shepherd mix continued to come by while Major Brian Dennis was on patrol, begging for food. The abused dog was easy to recognize, because the Iraqi's had cut his ears off. Marine Major Brian Dennis would save his table scraps for him and eventually named him Nubs. The soldiers received orders that they had to move about an hour drive away the next day. While out on patrol that day Marine Major Brian Dennis found that the Iraqi's had stabbed Nubs badly with a screwdriver and was left to freeze to death. The US soldier rubbed antibiotic on Nubs wound and slept with him all night to try to keep him warm. Although, the marine had his orders and was forced to leave the area the next day, thinking he may never see Nubs again. Then a miracle happened. Nub tracked down the Major and caught up with him two days later.
Marine Major Brian Dennis was advised that he may not have pets. He wanted Nubs to finally be safe and live a good life, so he has arranged to send Nubs back to the states. This dog will be well loved and cared for, for the rest of his life in California! I don't know you, Major Brian Dennis, but I love what you stand for. Thank you for being kind hearted and compassionate. It is people like you who exemplify what American values really are.
