Dogs are awesome

No shame, but this story had me choking up:

Dennis thought he had seen the last of the dog days later when his squad headed back to its command post some 65 miles away. He couldn't take the dog with him and watched as it tried to follow the Humvees away from the border.

Two days later, while Dennis and a comrade were working on a Humvee, he looked up and saw the dog staring at him.

"Somehow that crazy damned dog tracked us," he wrote Jan. 9.

They say there are no athiests in foxholes. And no soldier ever brought back any damn cat from Iraq.

Just sayin'.
