U.S. Marine reunited with military dog after years apart

A U.S. Marine veteran from Albany Park was reunited with an old military buddy at Midway Airport Tuesday, and the wagging tail and kisses prove that absence makes the hound grow fonder.

Great story, but also shows what quality people are in the military. He did dangerous and arduous work in the service and then going for his college degree. Hope he and the dog are happy and well.

The dog became a comrade and a fellow soldier, a tie that will never be broken... It makes me so emotional...

[@ladybugnoname2980]

So happy for both. God bless them.

Saw the PTSD awareness shirt, maybe Atilla will be the man's service dog?

Dogs are always the best.
Unconditional love, they are so happy to see you. When you have a really bad day, they make it all better.

ALL dogs should be loved and cherished like this❤❤ Please everyone support MIssion K9 Rescue with donations so there can be more of these reunions🙏🙏These rescues help PTSD in soldiers both human and K9. The sad truth is, the military leaves these hero dogs to die in foreign countries once they are done with them. These dogs deserve to come home and be showered with admiration and Love!!

[@joeharris3878]

Wouldn't a marine use a naval dog rather than a military dog?
