Via Stripes:
Military reunion videos tug at the heartstrings, even more so when that reunion involves a dog.
Throw in the fact that the dog was actually a rescue that a deployed soldier in Iraq managed to get back to Florida, and even the steeliest of dark hearts would be hard pressed to survive the sight of the tail-wagging, face-licking joy of one obviously happy canine. The soldier was pretty happy as well.
That’s the case with a video of U.S. Army Reserve Sgt. Tracy McKithern, who took in a puppy that was wandering the streets near a base in northern Iraq in 2017 and through a lot of help managed to have that puppy make its way to Florida.
McKithern, a combat photographer with the 982nd Combat Camera Co., was deployed to the Kurdistan Training Coordination Center near Irbil from April 2017 to January 2018, according to story by McKithern’s friend and Army Sgt. Ken Scar on dvidshub.net.
