IRAQ -- Their friendship began half way across the world in Iraq, when St. Petersburg native Major Brian Dennis encountered a mixed breed dog in Anbar Province. The dog had been savagely abused and his ears cut off.

The marine decided to call him Nubbs.

I hope they get to be together when all this is over. ..just goes to show you find friends in the strangest of places.
I wish them both luck and a long life together. Is the dog liable to be quarantined when he gets to the US???

An amazing story. I hope it has a happy ending and one man and his dog get to spend it together peacefully.

There's nothing like a bundle of fur to bring out the softy in us, eh Foititis? I'm sure it won't be the last time either

I think U.S. quarantine is only a couple of weeks. Plus he'll be spending that time getting his shots. Some will be required.
