Great Reunion with War Dog

My buddy John was just able to adopt his working dog. The media did a nice deal on the homecoming:

He and I (and our mutts) worked together and I took over his camp after his incident. He's an amazing dude that makes everyone he meets a better person just for knowing him, and his mutt was the only dog that mine (in my avatar) ever got along with. Mine was retired a few years ago and now lives a few miles from SLC, so now we're working out getting the two idiots back together for a visit.

My office got super dusty watching them meet up again.

Awesome. Thanks BB.

The only thing wrong with dogs is that they don't live a hundred years.

My appreciation for what you and your friend and his dog have done.

The standard joke was that the dogs were the "experts" we were just the idiots willing to walk behind them and tell everyone else when it was time to RUN!!

I got to visit with Balto last week as he was being processed to fly to the States. It's always nice seeing them go home, because for most of them it will be the first time since they left Holland that they've seen grass, and usually the first time in their lives that they've had a bed or a couch to sleep on, and they're usually 7-8yrs old or so at that point.

Awesome Bogey, thanks for sharing. Glad your buddy and his "buddy" are doing good and reunited.
