These dogs should not have to deploy with different handlers. They are not machines or equipment!!!! They are living breathing creatures. They get attached and have feelings. They should get to go home with the soldiers whom they have become to love.

These dogs are soldiers and are trained as such. All Human soldiers are transferred, re-assigned etc. Service animals are assets that periodically require transfer in the same manner. They are also exposed to the same risk as service members..... that's the nature of duty to your Country.

Best friend any human could ever have is a dog.

Silly man! "I hope he remembers me," he said. Our dalmatian, Tigg'r was maybe 2 years old when we moved from Michigan. When we came back, about 9 years later, he had a kiss for his vet. He remembered his vet all that time. I'm so glad that Ikar has a man who will care for him and give him love. We all know that Ikar will give the love back to the man.

Abandoned? That is so awful. Glad you're home. Thank you both for your service! 🇱🇷❤️ Makes me so mad, abandoned? Not good armed service's. This dog also served our country.

Please spoil him ! He deserves peace and love for the rest of his life.

"I hope he remembers me" a dogs nose never forgets,I had a dog that went blind but he knew who I was by smell

That precious four-legged Hero dog deserves every second of a GREAT life until his last breath. What a great story these two BFFs are reunited. Thank you both for your service!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Im crying. These service dogs should all be able to go home when his human comes back. Should be a law. These people come back with PTSD, the dogs have had enough mentally also. PTSD military people NEED a pal around. Same qay eith the dogs.To watch these awesome animals get to be in their perfect furr ever home, and #1 is being reunited with first owner/master etc. And he's not an abuser on top of it. I'm a 21 yr cat n dog rescuer. So seeing them back together was heartwarming and i couldn't stop the tears Then to hear that these people are scamming for $ on these service dogs and not telling the truth. Prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law. Fine them, lock them up with orange suits permanently, karma = treat them tenfold as they have done to the dogs and humans. NO PARDONS, NO MERCY.

Unfortunately many dog handlers that come home from a tour still have remaining years left to serve and have no place to keep a dog on base. Dog handlers don't spend their entire enlistment period, 4-6 years, deployed. Y The government invests a lot of time and money in the training of dogs for that type of work to just let them go after their handler completes a 6-8 month deployment. Great that they were both able to make it home though.

thanks for saving those brave old dogs, the soldiers needed compassion to.

This right here is why I support Mission K9 Rescue. They will appreciate any donations you can make.
