@John Ellis there is so much wrong with your statement that everyone should just ignore it completely. If you are not a veteran (I am) then you have no clue what you are spouting off, so go educate yourself please!
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.
The stories about unit dogs could actually be a great animated movie just to raise awareness to both kids and adults on the even harsher realities these pups face after their retirement from service. I hope more people knew of this. Thank you for sharing it~
Anderson Kinsey -- Thank you so much for posting this. I'm in tears reading it. I will help as soon as possible. The more I learn about what goes on behind the scene, the more I say governments do nothing to inspire my confidence. But animals inspire almost all of my confidence!
As someone who worked in the military with a k9, I can tell you this is one of the most incredible feelings a person can ever feel. They aren’t pets or tools for us. These animals are soldiers and they’re our brothers and sisters in arms. Thank you guys for your service! 🙏🏻
I’ve always imagined it was like this - They’re a force that’s trained to do stuff just like regular soldiers. I love the idea that they’re considered fellow comerades 😂😂
Kathy Florcruz you got that right. What better way to help both veterans is by keeping them together. I’m sorry, but I know these dogs will rotate handlers. One of the best ways to combat ptsd is to keep them together. Most of my buddies from the Marines have service dogs for it. It works good for them.
@@thy7411 My understanding is that "survivors" are staged for the dogs to find because they understand exactly what they're doing and occasionally need a win.
@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.
I am gonna say it. I am a Marine. I am part of a massive brother/sistership that a select few get to understand. Our Canines? No different. They, like their human counterparts, are Marines. They are not just companions. They are damn near blood. For these two to be reunited is more the a mere heartwarming experience. Two brothers who fought together deserve to stay together. This is how it should be.
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!
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
@iori1391 You mean this czcams.com/video/zFyB7NsqKjs/video.html You're gonna have a hard time convincing any veteran of that bs. The military loves Trump.
@iori1391 Does name calling work when you're at home? I mean does that tactic work in making anyone listen to you? I hope you don't speak to your mother like that. She might kick you outta da basement.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I come from a very long line of ancestors who served, including Dad, brother, uncles, cousins and my niece's husband, who is currently serving, and there is no way to express how grateful I am to you and your husband for his sacrifice. I remember vividly my mother getting the telegram regarding her brother's death in service. I believe those who love our service members also serve our country. I will say a special prayer for you and your family.
@pollymorriss3001-Thank you for your service by going though all the trials and tribulations you obviously endured, I can't imagine what you have gone through, sorry for your loss.
When a grown man, a marine no less, is making that super high pitched “hEY BUDDY, COME HERE!! COmE HErE!!!” You know it’s good and they both deserve it.
@Joseph Cann their sense of smell is indeed amazing and they depend on it more than sight. But I seriously doubt this dog recognised the man just from smell. I say this because when my dog became blind, he could not really recognise me even though I was near him and kept talking to him.

Yep. PTSD seems to be very hard to go away completely in extreme cases such as those of military people. More often than not, it is a life-long sentence.

But it is not a joke to those who experience it. They don't want it. They don't want to relive certain memories. You cannot speak to someone's tragedies unless you, yourself, have also experienced the same.
I knew a guy that said that he didn't shed a tear when he went through his divorce, but the day he had to say goodbye to his dog, he was a mess. We don't deserve dogs
Over years living closely with a dog creates a bond that no one will ever understand who hasn't owned a dog themselves. It's crazy how important they get and how precious they become after only a month or so. I myself have a dog who turns 11 this month he's my everything and I treat him like a prince ❤️. I can't imagine to live wo him anymore. If he dies a part of me dies as well.
@@m-mori I lost my two senior dogs about two years apart. Those were some hard days. I was extremely bonded to one, in particular, who died 5 days before I found out I was pregnant with my second child. So that news distracted me some. I miss him every single day. I get sad when I think about him or find pictures. But I’m so thankful for the time I had two those pups. It gets easier, but that hole isn’t ever gone. That’s the heartache with owning dogs. You love them SO much and your time with them is fleeting. But what fun that time is!
Well done and while I can never understand what thess two had been through I can most certainly understand the bond they have as my old boy Riley and I had a very similar bond every major event of my adult life he was there. He was my boy, my best friend, and truly my family the same as those two warriors as we saw, rest easy young men it is now time to relax.
His voice smell walk gave him away. These dogs rely on all of their senses to a degree most humans can't comprehend. I know I have my Sasha. Stays with me 24/7. Will for the rest of our lives.
I love this. What a great way for that working dog to spend his golden years. Spending the rest of his life being pampered and loved is how it should be for any dog who puts their life on the line for humans.
First, I want to thank them BOTH for their service to America. Thank you and God bless you both. Second, this terrific woman and her fantastic charity are to be commended!
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.
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.
I’m so sorry for your Dad’s pain. Crying. God bless him. My best friend 🐾 is sleeping here next to me, I completely understand how he could have ptsd from that.
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.
Ol Adam Jackson aint wrong though. You happy for you and your kids to go get killed in endless wars while the elite make billions off you? Y'all need to wake up.
Oh man, don’t I know it !! Have had my dog for 14 years. Never felt closer to anything or anybody. 14 years old, still does a running jump and lands in the middle of a bed. Don’t know what I’m ever gonna do when he’s gone and if I go first, I know he’d be lost. All good now, though. So yeah, it is an insane bond. 😊
A dog can give you so much especially in bad times. I would say a dog is a gift of God to us humans to feel a little bit better every day... Look in the eyes of a dog nothing compares to this....
@Leonard Chornomaz awww that’s so nice! Yeah I do see that issue, and additionally I thought that they were just in the same area as the marine and thought it would be nice to reunite them. Thanks for letting me know! Have a good day!
Like how she said “their is a bond we can’t understand” she know what these men go through. Much respect to all military men and women. Thank you for my freedom
Semper fi! So glad to hear about this organization working to reunite retired armed forces dogs with their handlers fur evermore. They are doing a blessed work
I was in 1st Marine Division, 2nd Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment. My IDD(Improvised Exploding Device Detection Dog) is named Taffy. Her I.D. # is T022. She is a small yellow lab. I was her 1st handler. I would like to see if this organization could help me find her and get her back. My name is Anthony Barber. We served together as a team in Helmand Providence, Afghanistan in 2012. Please help me find her. I miss her so much. Thank you.
Hello sir. I won’t give out my real name on here, but I am a combat infantryman (light infantry, grenadier) of three deployments totaling 26 months. I also served in Helmand provenance, near Pashmul in Zahri district closest to FOB Wilson near the Pakistani border. Southeast of Kandahar. The nickname was “the heart of darkness” or “The birthplace of the Taliban.” I want to first thank you for being there with the army when they call EOD, because you guys helped a lot when we were there. I was there 2010-2011 with the 101st airborne, 1st Battalion/502nd infantry regiment, 2nd Brigade combat team. I am going to attempt to look into how to even go about you getting your battle buddy K-9 back. I hope this all turns out well, and if I find any links or anything that I think will help, I’ll post such on here. Thank you again 🇺🇸👍
Hi, I don’t live in the US. But very far away in Singapore. However, for the last 10 years I have been adopting n promoting the adoption or retired K9 n MWDs. Including, ones that fall ill 1/2 through their work life, or didn’t make the cut. I don’t know where u originally got her dog whether inheriting from another handler or from LACKLAND Air Base where many military personnel pick up their dogs. They also have a program for Ex-handlers or interested members of public to adopt their retired MWDs. Another one is DOGS ON DEPLOYMENT. And the other is the War Dog Foundation set up by Mike Ritland who was an ex-navy seal. Even if, they might not be the right group to help you, perhaps they have more resources and link u up with other groups that reunites retired MWD with their handlers, or helps to find forever homes for them. U can also find some of these groups on Facebook simply typing in Military Working Dogs or Retired MWD, OR SIMILAR relevant words. Hope this helps. Good Luck to you and Taffy.
The soldier earned the dogs trust just as the dog earned the soldiers trust. Inseparable unions and should never be separated period. Much respect for this man and his buddy. :O)
@@CZcams-changed-MY-username Here's a challenge for you, then. 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 CZcams threads like this. Nobody cares to know that you don't care.
As a Marine myself, when these men and women come home, so should the dog. That would be tax money well spent.
Agreed, same with the horses used.

MichaelArcAngel1028 mas respect ✊🏼
Amen to that
@MichaelArcAngel1028 Good job 👏👏👏👏 Healing PTSD is not small matter. I'm so happy for you and enjoy with your dog 🙂
I knew a guy that said that he didn't shed a tear when he went through his divorce, but the day he had to say goodbye to his dog, he was a mess. We don't deserve dogs
Over years living closely with a dog creates a bond that no one will ever understand who hasn't owned a dog themselves. It's crazy how important they get and how precious they become after only a month or so. I myself have a dog who turns 11 this month he's my everything and I treat him like a prince ❤️. I can't imagine to live wo him anymore. If he dies a part of me dies as well.
@@m-mori I lost my two senior dogs about two years apart. Those were some hard days. I was extremely bonded to one, in particular, who died 5 days before I found out I was pregnant with my second child. So that news distracted me some. I miss him every single day. I get sad when I think about him or find pictures. But I’m so thankful for the time I had two those pups. It gets easier, but that hole isn’t ever gone. That’s the heartache with owning dogs. You love them SO much and your time with them is fleeting. But what fun that time is!
I lost my dogs exactly a year apart. Worst year I ever had. Still miss those two.
Wow
@@m-mori hey your profile pic is dope that album slaps
This made me cry. How beautiful and how glorious this reunion must have been for both of them!
Me too
These dogs after service should ALL BE BROUGHT HOME..
Imagine someone breaking into his home and finding out the dog is military.
I would regret and cry for the rest of the day, those dogs went trought a lot😢😢😢😢

And the owner too
Dog would immediately protect its owner
how john wick should have ended
and that's what you call "BESTFRIENDS".
Im your 69 like :)))
Yeah but these friends can't be friends with benefits tho
Best friends is two words
That is so true
Beautiful
Well done and while I can never understand what thess two had been through I can most certainly understand the bond they have as my old boy Riley and I had a very similar bond every major event of my adult life he was there. He was my boy, my best friend, and truly my family the same as those two warriors as we saw, rest easy young men it is now time to relax.
I bet all the dudes who served with this dog are equally grateful and heartbroken when they see this video
All Military / Police dogs should be offered to their former handler upon retirement
A lot are especially police dogs as they live with their officer
In the Marines they are. Start with the most recent handler and work their way back, or go based off who spent the most time working with the dog.
Police dogs always go to their handlers when they retire as they usually live with them full time
Haha original
i agree with what your saying, but you copied this comment word for word..
Anyone: "What a great dog. Where did you get him?"
"We served overseas together....... we're United States Marines"
Hell yeah!! Bring the k9's home.

Thank you both for your service. Well done!
I'm sure the dog was initially confused by the hair.
His voice smell walk gave him away. These dogs rely on all of their senses to a degree most humans can't comprehend. I know I have my Sasha. Stays with me 24/7. Will for the rest of our lives.
Dogs actually have rather poor eyesight. They rely more on smell. Something that doesn't change as easily
The smell, voice and body type is what they rely upon.
yep, then got a sniff and AW BUDDY WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN! You need a haircut...but where have you been....woof.

Veteran with PTSD. A retired military K9. Both have served their country. Thank you. Now, enjoy each others company.
Dog is a veteran's best friend.
I love this. What a great way for that working dog to spend his golden years. Spending the rest of his life being pampered and loved is how it should be for any dog who puts their life on the line for humans.
ALL dogs should be loved,I've got two rescue dogs and I wouldn't swap them for all the tea in China ✌️
Military dogs should get free dog treats for their service!
I'm sure they do, but if they don't we can immediately start action #treatsforlife 🙂
Dude facts
True lol. I would be willing to pay for that (as a person who never pays to human-related charities).
They’ll get treats if we”re at War

First, I want to thank them BOTH for their service to America. Thank you and God bless you both.
Second, this terrific woman and her fantastic charity are to be commended!
What a wonderful story. I love happy endings. I'm so glad these friends found each other again.
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.
So sweet about them becoming inseparable 🥺
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.
Yes I cant believe all of the stuff and organizations that have to help to get them home. Its heartbreaking that many are still left behind!
I’m so sorry for your Dad’s pain. Crying. God bless him. My best friend 🐾 is sleeping here next to me, I completely understand how he could have ptsd from that.
I am so sorry for what your dad went through. I hope he has found help for his PTSD.
I really did not think a tear would come from my eye. I was wrong.

My son trains these dogs, they’re more dependable than any human...
SLY GXP 💞✝️
That is a gift. Thank you for your families service.
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.
Even more dependable than another human marine ? Umm
HELL YEAH!!
God Bless our troops and service animals.
@Adam Jackson you're such a fool. Even so, God bless you. May He open your eyes and your heart.
@Adam Jackson Up yours you piece of shit..
@Ravy Chankar Ignore the the hateful people, there is no room for that type of hate. God bless you stay safe
Ol Adam Jackson aint wrong though. You happy for you and your kids to go get killed in endless wars while the elite make billions off you? Y'all need to wake up.
why does everything have to turn religious

The bond between a human and dog is insane if you let it happen.
Oh man, don’t I know it !! Have had my dog for 14 years. Never felt closer to anything or anybody. 14 years old, still does a running jump and lands in the middle of a bed. Don’t know what I’m ever gonna do when he’s gone and if I go first, I know he’d be lost. All good now, though. So yeah, it is an insane bond. 😊
100%
So very true
Michael, yep u are correct. I've Let it Happen many xx
@@listenmyfriendfranklin6325 may you and dog go on for a long time dude. Good luck to you both.

Vets should always be able to take their dogs. It keeps the vets and the animals whole and it is definitely the right thing to do.
That’s not a dog. That’s a Marine. ~~Leroy Jethro Gibbs~~
Effin a right!!!
It should be a rule
Semper fei K9
Powerfull words 👌
Hope Atilla has a long and happy retirement. He's earned it.
They both deserve to be back together.
A dog can give you so much especially in bad times. I would say a dog is a gift of God to us humans to feel a little bit better every day... Look in the eyes of a dog nothing compares to this....
wth, handlers should be allowed to adopt their family.
@Leonard Chornomaz sadly you are right, but perhaps once a k9 has reached an age where it can no longer serve, the handler could adopt it,
@Leonard Chornomaz awww that’s so nice! Yeah I do see that issue, and additionally I thought that they were just in the same area as the marine and thought it would be nice to reunite them. Thanks for letting me know! Have a good day!
Most handlers will try to adopt their K9. Usually the most recent handler gets privileges.
He is not just a military *dog* . He is an *Officer* too. Lost mannerism in the world of hypocrisy.
Well said....
It’s a dog...
It's not that big of a deal. Calm yourself.

@@issaabdalla281 did this dude already delete his comment ? what a pussy
Semper fi! So glad to hear about this organization working to reunite retired armed forces dogs with their handlers fur evermore. They are doing a blessed work
So heart warming to see
I was in 1st Marine Division, 2nd Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment. My IDD(Improvised Exploding Device Detection Dog) is named Taffy. Her I.D. # is T022. She is a small yellow lab. I was her 1st handler. I would like to see if this organization could help me find her and get her back. My name is Anthony Barber. We served together as a team in Helmand Providence, Afghanistan in 2012. Please help me find her. I miss her so much. Thank you.
You’re probably better off contacting the organization directly. missionk9rescue.org/contact-mission-k9-rescue/
Hello sir. I won’t give out my real name on here, but I am a combat infantryman (light infantry, grenadier) of three deployments totaling 26 months. I also served in Helmand provenance, near Pashmul in Zahri district closest to FOB Wilson near the Pakistani border. Southeast of Kandahar. The nickname was “the heart of darkness” or “The birthplace of the Taliban.”
I want to first thank you for being there with the army when they call EOD, because you guys helped a lot when we were there. I was there 2010-2011 with the 101st airborne, 1st Battalion/502nd infantry regiment, 2nd Brigade combat team.
I am going to attempt to look into how to even go about you getting your battle buddy K-9 back. I hope this all turns out well, and if I find any links or anything that I think will help, I’ll post such on here. Thank you again 🇺🇸👍
@@JohnDoe-rt4jz I appreciate it solider. It hasn't panned out yet finding her but I'm continuing to be hopeful. 🇺🇸
Anthony Barber Good luck!
Hi, I don’t live in the US. But very far away in Singapore. However, for the last 10 years I have been adopting n promoting the adoption or retired K9 n MWDs. Including, ones that fall ill 1/2 through their work life, or didn’t make the cut. I don’t know where u originally got her dog whether inheriting from another handler or from LACKLAND Air Base where many military personnel pick up their dogs. They also have a program for Ex-handlers or interested members of public to adopt their retired MWDs. Another one is DOGS ON DEPLOYMENT. And the other is the War Dog Foundation set up by Mike Ritland who was an ex-navy seal. Even if, they might not be the right group to help you, perhaps they have more resources and link u up with other groups that reunites retired MWD with their handlers, or helps to find forever homes for them. U can also find some of these groups on Facebook simply typing in Military Working Dogs or Retired MWD, OR SIMILAR relevant words. Hope this helps. Good Luck to you and Taffy.
Keeping a Dog can save your life in more ways than one. They will NEVER let you down & their loyalty & love is unconditional.

I wish I owned an airline. I would fly all military dogs home for free.
Exactly, why give rich people free flights in 1st class when you can fly well deserving doggo’s back to their army family?
That’s really nice man respect.
Heros come in many shapes and sizes.. Thank you for serving.
dogs truly are a mans best friend! ive had dogs all my life and it wouldnt be complete without them, they complete it for me! amazing animals
The soldier earned the dogs trust just as the dog earned the soldiers trust. Inseparable unions and should never be separated period. Much respect for this man and his buddy. :O)
A Marine.
I always hope that every military dog or K-9 dog is reunited with the man or woman who they spent years with. The thought makes me happy.
The correct title for a Marine is Marine, not soldier. Army personnel are called soldiers.
@@10Peter25 nobody cares. they both serve the country in times of war.
@@CZcams-changed-MY-username Here's a challenge for you, then. 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 CZcams threads like this. Nobody cares to know that you don't care.
This is extremely touching to watch
