nice

[@xxAlessiaxx]

This is a beautiful story, I love Nubs and Brian, hes a wonderful man. thanks for posting this

[@JimS870]

It says a lot about a person's character how they treats animals. A man who abuses an animal can never be a real man. I'm so glad to hear about the brave soldiers out there being so loving to an animal in need. If everybody was that generous...wow it's hard to think about it.

[@LylaN93]

Respect to Brian Dennis and much love to Nubs!

[@FauziyahMusa]

Salute! I watched Animal Planet's program,"No Dog Left behind" 6 times and cried each time. Love Nubs! He tracked 70 miles to find Major Brian Dennis, fighting snakes, scorpions and wild dogs. Kudos to Terri Crisp,SPCA International, who risks her life to rescue these animal friends. A Nation is judged by the way it treats animals.

[@brianobrian1812]

Thank you Sir for bringing this great dog home,he deserves to be an American!

[@denshentov]

What a blessed dog

[@SoFarAwayByul]

I love how people are so quick to judge soldiers in Iraq for killing 'innocent' people. When first off, none of you have been there, or seen what these guys go through everyday. And, two, none of you realize that little kids come out with bombs and guns, people dressed as civilians shoot at them all the time, and telling the enemy from civilians is nearly impossible sometimes due to the sheer cowardice of the Iraqi insurgents.

[@beatsbooze]

You are a very good Man Major Dennis!

[@nongmamja]

God bless Major Brian and Nubs the dog. I got the book " Nubs " this bring tears to my eyes, if I feel down I take book out look at the pictures of you and Nubs, this made me feel better. I cherished Nubs book.

[@fancyredrose]

[@graceesmith3738]

I did at my school TOO!!!!!!!! I go to belding

[@crazymarine1991]

I first heard this on war dogs

[@narsicaguinansaca1046]

I read it in school

[@sicchild]

seems as if the sarcasm in my message wasn't as obvious as i thought...

[@tvland7602]

I own a production company, and my girlfriend is an old money S Florida heiress who fell in love with Operation Baghdad Pups. She's raising money with her friends, and we're using the donations for production budgets to get the word out everywhere. Watch for celebrity participation, and generous media buys on the behalf of the pups. 158 dogs have been rescued and returned to their soldiers stateside by the SPCAI thus far, and we intend to make that number much, much larger.

[@storelladeville9558]

I quite agree, and I know the "heart of a lion" idiom. Maybe we should replace it with "hear of a dog," though. :-)

[@Trund27]

@stars6354 Beautifully said.

[@watchensee]

Yeah he turned out too be a lucky dog!

[@mrredcoss]

[@tazal5011]

[@bronco568]

and for the record he never killed anyone in Iraq and I have been to Iraq twice and have driven 30,000 miles in Iraq and never once fired my weapon or got shot at.

[@PrivatePeterson]

[@jamdungvybz]

Six years later, I hope you have read many more books and your grammar has increased exponentially

[@MsCatbyte]

What two idiots would "dislike" this video? Brian Dennis and Nubs are AWESOME and this is coming from a cat person :)

[@carolannetitmus8878]

Is nubs still alive?

[@tacitus2244]

Died in 2018

[@fsterpsycat]

why is it that whenever anything happens, positive or negative, concerning an extraordinary animal, or extraordinary abuse of an animal, that people like IMMax77 have to jump on their 'people 1st!' grandstand? so, since people are suffering it matters less when animals do? love that twisted logic...

[@LisaCupcake]

@RayWilliamJohansen What's weird is that you'd say something like this just to get attention.

[@ickeyjoey]

Petco gave him $15,000 for rent?

[@tvland7602]

Again, I'd take Nubs over you, hands-down. Your posts reflect your character perfectly, and why it makes the rest of us secure in returning love to the dogs that give so unconditionally, rather than people like yourself. Sorry for all the venom, I just like dogs over people (a small inner circle excluded) because they have proven themselves to be bigger souls than yours time and time again. Experience teaches...

[@TheDiepzone]

Until you see them attack other animals (or sometimes humans).

[@thechubbyunicorn2795]

I’m being 100% serious. Brian Dennis is my uncle.

[@PhoenixStunts]

I know him personally also, just to test, what City does he live in?

[@tacitus2244]

He lives on the west coast

[@hakuron...]

lan bu kangal köpeği hahahaha it a turkish kangal dog

[@brankitties]

-3 :)))

[@adlopa85]

yeah, nice story, but instead of saving dogs (which is perfect), US soldiers should protect innocent iraqi people who die everyday just because 'someone' said iraqis are bad guys...

[@TheDiepzone]

To be informed is quite the opposite of stupid. It's not about "be what their souls are" but it's about survival. You must be from one of those states that don't teach evolution.

[@Julian24151]

it is wrong to kill, but iraqis are trying to kill him....the dog isnt

[@adittya86]

how sad that someone who defends his country doesnt have a place to stay in... just sad!

[@morganite100]

I love animal of all kinds specially dogs & cats they're the purest creatures on Earth but I find it hypocrite that this guy felt sorry for the dog but he wouldn't feel sorry for the Iraqi people killed by the us soldiers and Iraqi women rapped by his fellows u think that your soldiers are heroes just go and see what they've done they're nothin but bunch of criminals who went to Iraq becoz they needed money

[@iowa61]

Your premise is flawed. It presumes a conflict where none exists. Your comment is often used as a pretext for cruelty and indifference to animals. The whole "humans come first thing" is way too broad. Sorry but Khalid Sheik Mohammed does not come first before my loving German Shepherd. If the two were facing death and I could only save one --"Bye-Bye Khalid!" You would do well in Iraqi society where dogs are routinely abused and neglected. Oh that's right! They treat each other the same way! Hmm

[@iowa61]

Once again, your argument is based on ridiculous, outrageous presumption. You have no idea how I feel about animals used for human consumption. It is a demonstable fact that the manner in which people treat animals is an indicator of how they treat their fellow human beings...

[@tvland7602]

Your post exemplifies why we'd take a "Nubs" over your type any day. Live and let live. I doubt a dog would do anything but wag its tail when they read your post. Clearly, you've never had a dog, cuz you grow a bias toward the canine crowd awful quick. Especially after encountering you at an intersection...

[@randomstuff1584]

ho

[@iowa61]

Thank you. I make no attempt to obscure my compassion and love for most living things. The only exceptions being an unfortuntately sizeable portion of the human race, who, unlike dogs, are motivated by greed, ego, and an overwhelming sense of their own superiority. Hmmm. Sound familiar?

[@wasimqader]

Wow killed innocent kids for oil but saved a dog....what a hero!!!!

[@hypennik3960]

Too be fair, It wasn't like those kids were helping anyone or doing anything.

[@wasimqader]

mmmm i guess that is the definition of being a kid...they arent suppose to do anything, forced labor, politics, war, insecurities and any/all kind of harm... kids all over the world are to be kept away from all these arent they?? that's why they are called kids....come up with another asshole point to prove your an asshole this was just too easy

[@hypennik3960]

Yeah but i mean,They'll probably just get blown the fuck up by an IED before they hit 14, Better that.

[@wasimqader]

Hypennik there weren't any IEDs before you SOBs decided to invade their country for something that 18 Saudis did while befriending the mighty Saudis for guess what...yeah you're right oil...there wasn't a single afghan or Iraqi that had anything to do with Sept 11 but they had to pay with millions of innocent lives cuz the bully decided to pic on the weak like they always do...one for oil other for poppy n nickle...thanks a million to Asange n wiki leaks for exposing the shit to the whole world...

[@hypennik3960]

Yeah okay, Can i get a source on "there weren't any IEDs before you SOBs decided to invade their country"
