Way too many dogs were left in Nam 😔 my grandfather tried to bring his Rottweiler home in the end but wasn't allowed.. They said it was too much of a liability to allow dogs "trained to kill" to go into normal homes after 🤦 thankfully though, they've changed that & now most of the dogs get to live out their retirement ! I don't think just ANYBODY should be able to keep dogs like that though. Should be a handler they're already comfortable with OR, someone who at least has the experience to handle a dog like that.

I agree so much with that. From what I've read, the dogs are in at least as much danger as their handlers. They should go home together, and maybe they can, as a team, join the National Guard together. But definitely they will help their partner handle the transition to home life. It helps them both.

[@mjtaylor1146]

I totally agree. That little boy is who the dog saw as his little man. Same thing happened with a german shepard pup I bought for myself. Had her at 5wks old an after injection period I started training her one on one for months. Yet first time out as a family with my 3 kids. She choose my youngest son who was a 16month old toddler. She followed him everywhere an took him to bed if he fell asleep on the rug. She would slide herslf under him an gently carry him to bed. Id see neither till breakfast. I may have lost my dog to him. Yet that beautiful friendship lasted 14yrs till she passed 3 years ago. My son would love another GSD now. Its taken this long for him to get over his broken heart. Yet Tasha protected my baby from any harm including 3 dog attacks by 2 staffies an 1 huge rottie who she ripped to shreds as it was sent on Tash an she was stood next to my then 2yr old so she was still a pup herself. She may have killed that rottie but if she hadnt it could have been my son who got hurt as he had her lead. She lay down as rottie charged at her till it was nearly infront of her the rose to seize its throat. One bite kill. She earned a big T-bone that day. When dogs an kids bond its astounding to see. R.I.P our beautiful Tasha. Always missed yet NEVER forgotten 😭😭😭💔💔💔💕💕

It amazes me how well these dogs are trained. Happy, friendly, and lovable with their trainer and every one the trainer regards as their people as well. Yet, on command will give their life for their trainer. That takes a hell of a special relationship between two very different souls and species. Incredible!

I'm so glad Bakk is out of stressful military assignment. I don't know if Bakk only stayed in South Korea or if he faced duty in a war zone. I'm just happy he is safe and home. God Bless Bakk. God Bless America.

At the end he's watching/guarding the toddler to make sure he doesn't do anything to get hurt, you can tell by the posture.

[@denniscook1422]

So very cool. Glad another veteran gets a home.

It's a good story. Most military dogs retirement home is a kill shelter. That's not quite as good a story i know, but it is one that needs to be told, cause these dogs deserve better. I'm pretty sure they earned it.

[@daisyelmir1289]

Amen my friend, Amen! 🌼🙏 They really do deserve the best, just like our Veterans!

[@dchristian1021]

WTF? Are you serious?! Smh that pisses me off, after all that hard service they go to kill shelters?😡

[@gerhardgunter3219]

basquat76 Best Comment!!!👍

[@armandadeveigamonteiro8457]

What they send them to shelters ?

[@colleentam6446]

basquat76 ,. This is a travesty. You are right that this needs to be public knowledge. Had no idea, but guess that I should not be surprised when they were abandoned in Vietnam. How can we do something about this so that they can be adopted with first offer to the person they served with on assignment ? DoDo can you help? The Armed Forces could certainly make this happen.

Military Dogs are true American Heroes! They deserve the best aftercare and homes. I love this story! God bless them all 🙏 Beautiful Family❤️

God bless this pair, a true connection between two beings who know what love is.

[@suzannevgibson5242]

They are a military's angel,so deserving,so loving...I am proud to be an american cause of this pet..

[@dr.tankenstien]

We just had a former handler, US Army, that served in Afghanistan, reunited with his working dog he had while he was deployed there... We, as a group, reviewed the rules of the VFW and have made him, the Military Working Dog, a full lifetime member, in good standing of course, with our local VFW. I hope this MWD can also become a member of the VFW of it local community.

THANK YOU BAKK FOR ALL YOU'VE DONE SERVICING AND PROTECTING OUR COUNTRY! ENJOY YOUR RETIREMENT BUD BECAUSE YOU DESERVE IT!!!! CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH! TY! TY! TY! ❤

[@ichbineinehrenmann4636]

What a brave soldier this dog is . My respect, he deserves only love!

[@johno4521]

"Brave?" Not really. Dogs don't have any concept of the danger, it's all just a game to them.

[@el-jamon-loco]

[@chaz-mi1ch]
