Marine reunites with and adopts military dog he served with

All military dogs should be offered to thier former handlers upon retirement.

I agree totally.no one will understand that dog quite like the military handler.

[@TofuTeo]

Agreed, and I’m not even in he military. I think it’s a good way to show veterans true appreciation

[@jameswright5572]

@D B not anymore. Only if they have cancer or other untreatable conditions. The excess equipment rule was dropped years ago. However former handlers are still not given priority.

[@pieceofschmidtgames6389]

The problem is if one handler retires and another one steps in. Who gets the dog in that scenario?

[@BAHRacingTeam]

As a Marine myself, when these men and women come home, so should the dog. That would be tax money well spent.

[@TheBlueberryJamYT]

This is awesome. Just found out about what happens to retired military dogs yesterday and was absolutely heartbroken. Most retired military dogs are abandoned in the country they served in or euthanized if they don't get adopted. The military does not pay for them to fly back, and do not pay for medical benefits whatsoever. A lot of dogs can have medical issues from being in combat just like humans, except they don't get any medical benefits. These dogs deserve support from everyone. Mission K9 Rescue is actually who I just started donating to as of last night, $10 a month, anything helps. They help bring dogs home to get adopted and help pay for medical treatment. Help our soldiers.

[@puddles3425]

[@saralynfosnight5139]

When I was a kid, living in Denver, our next door neighbors were two sisters whose nephew came to live with them after the end of WWII. He brought with him his K9 dog, Jacques. We loved that dog, and the dog not only loved me and my sister but he protected us from such nefarious people as the milkman, the mail carrier, and anyone else who walked into our yard. My mom never worried about us playing in the yard when Jacques was around. To this day, I love German shepherds. Best dogs!

[@ramonwilts]

From the Netherlands. How nice that you are reminded by that after all those years. And considering that dog, and the veterans he was with, did a lot for my country, I thank Jacques and have love and respect for him too :) In those days he probably spend weeks on a boat just to get here and back home. All the nights here with bombs and gunshots around him all the time. It must have been scary for a dog. It makes you apreciate them even more indeed. Glad he got to spend his retirement playing with you in a nice American yard. Take care! Love from the Netherlands

Jean, these dogs put their lives on the line everyday of their lives to protect their person. They deserve the same respect as humans. When their person retires the dog should retire with him or her and be allowed to come home with them and live out their lives in love and comfort. No dog should ever be separated from the person they served with.

[@redreaper2752]

My dad had a dog in Vietnam but they didn’t let the men keep the dogs back then. My dad ended up having very bad PTSD not for the war but from guilt about what happened to his dog. The dog that was with him every day and who saved his life over and over. Who got him through the war without ever being injured. I’m so glad that things are different now. My dad didn’t get another dog for over thirty years but when he finally let us get a female Papillon, they become completely inseparable. He cried every morning for weeks after she passed away but it was worth it. She literally gave us the best years of all of our lives.

[@loeysgalaxy6283]

So sweet about them becoming inseparable 🥺

[@janicevasey4038]

Dogs will always give you something that you have forever. My first dog had to be put to sleep at fourteen and a half and I cried for her. I have another dog now and although she’s beautiful she’ll never take the first one’s place - she has her own place in my heart! They both do.

Walk into an enlisted club (bar) on any Marine Corps base and call one of the Marines there a soldier and see if they let you walk out of the bar uninjured. If you want to show respect for Marines, then call them by their proper title. Likewise, if you just don't care, then stay off KZbin threads like this. Nobody cares to know that you don't care.
