I just wanted to post a quick update. Jax is doing really well. Him and our son have quite the bond which makes me so happy. He has lost all his puppy fur so he looks completely different. He's a very happy and energetic dog and we couldn't be happier that he's here with us.

+Michelle Fisher As a fellow Marine who served in peacetime (90-98), I'm always happy to see stories like this that enrich the lives of the guys who've had to endure so much during these trying times of instability in the middle east. I have so much respect for you SGT. Fisher! Also as a fellow K9 lover (I bought a truck in Texas last year and got a 'parking lot' boxer/pitt mix for $20 - best money I've ever spent), I appreciate your desire to give Jax a forever family! It's also nice to see your family on board with the idea. I wish you and yours a long, happy life together...Thank You! Season's Greetings to you and yours! I realize that My response is directed to SGT. Jacobs through you Michelle, so thank you for being my 'bridge' to him! SEMPER FI!!!

If this is the sort of compassion and honour he brings to his service then he should be thanked for it. Thankyou for your service Sir. This is the sort of man that should be representung the US then having lots of kids when he gets home. What an example for his son to follow. Great stuff.

Thank you for what you’ve done for all of us. I’m so happy Jax is finally home with you. I pray the other pups also found good homes.🙏🏻🇺🇸

Fine fellow! Good man, all blessings to him!

That is why I love animals they keep you hanging on

I know how much a dog can mean to someone who is alone and missing home. My little buddy Dany was with me for almost 15 years. He got sick and I had to say goodbye to him 5 days later. I cried for three days then realized I was crying for me so I stopped. But I miss him every day, it's been just over three years now and I was truly blessed to have him in my life, he will always be in my heart. Dogs are a gift from God.

Im starting to think that the dog as a species should be formally recognised for its service to humanity. It really is a special relationship we share.

Thank you SPCA for this program & blessing our soldiers!!!

This is absolutely heart warming - thank you so much for saving Jax .... I wish there were more like you who would do the same ! Thank you SO MUCH !

You can see the dog is unsure (look at the eyes)& then he warms up& you can see the dog realizes he is going to his forever home and the beginning of relaxing

I honour you for doing this! 😍

ohh I am so happy he finnaly with his human parents..Thank you family for having him in ur life..God bless u family

I brought two dogs to the US from India and I can tell you this: they were worth every penny, every late night, every bit of heartburn, and every dang form I had to fill out. We lost Rex a couple years ago. It was a devastating blow. We had him cremated and he will be with me forever. Emma's still hanging in there even with having only 3 legs (and all 3 have issues) plus epilepsy... she's still doing okay. She's such a strong-willed dog, and so dang sweet. I miss Rex, but I don't think we can replace him. When we eventually lose Emma, we will probably find a couple more dogs from some other far flung place. ;)

He was something "normal" in an "abnormal" world you were in temporarily! That young pup traveled far and long hours to "come home" to the one who cared and still cares! May he be a treasured member of your lovely family! TY for your service and Jax's too--just doing for you what dogs do best for us-- be a type of sanity! Blessings!

Beautiful dog and your a good man to keep him for his life and yours.

beautiful puppy to dog

So wonderful for that lucky dog who's been through so much, as all the rest of them have too...I hope all those dogs were spoken for by someone good and brought home too. I also wonder what the military does with those trapped wild animals on the bases...hope they turn them loose elsewhere, not kill them. Our wars aren't their faults. Thanks for sharing this great homecoming and reunion.

First, thank you and your family for serving our country. Now, you are a WONDERFUL FAMILY OF FOUR!

Only in the land of the free and home of the brave. Thanks for both of your services, Jacks included.

what a great story! he's a great dog! and what a great kid!!! I'm not surprised they bonded so well. and mom, you said you never had a dog before, we'll after having, loving and caring for this amazing dog, I'm thinking your can't picture life WITHOUT him.

Thank you for the work you do, finding pups and the soldiers they helped. It's healing just to see they getting back together. Funny how healing can work that way. Sometimes even without war, life take a toll on folks. Pupdogs and cats seem to have a talent for drawing people out of darkness. Messengers from God, I calls'em.
