Marine finds new friend Iraq


A United States Marine Core Sergeant found an unlikely friend while serving in Iraq. Sergeant Brain Dennis and his squad ran across a pack of wild dogs. One of those dogs walked up to Dennis who named the dog Nubs because of his cut ears.
The dog would acompany Dennis on guard duty and run after his Humvee when he left. When Nubs was stabbed by a screw driver Dennis and his team patched him up, and after that the dog began to fully trust Dennis. The next time Dennis left he followed him all the way back to his base 40 miles away, showing up and surprising everyone.
Dennis knew this dog was meant to be his and with the help of his family and friend back home came up with 5,000 dollars to send the dog to America. Friends took care of Nubs until Dennis finished his deployment and now the two live in San Diego. read the full story here.
