“A San Diego-based Marine major was reunited on Saturday with one of his closest war buddies - a 2-year-old dog named Nubs.
Nubs greeted Maj. Brian Dennis at Miramar Marine Corps Air Station when the fighter pilot returned from Iraq.
It was the first time the two were together since Dennis’ family and close friends helped raise $3,500 to fly the dog to San Diego about a month ago. Nubs wasn’t allowed to stay on base in Iraq.
Dennis, 36, of St. Pete Beach, Fla., had spotted the mongrel dog while on patrol in Anbar province and later nursed the animal back to health after finding him stabbed with a screwdriver.
He named the dog Nubs after learning someone cut the ears off believing it would make the dog more aggressive and alert.”

Awesome! I’ve followed this story and didn’t realize Brian would be back this soon. What a fabuslou reunion it must have been! If only every stray dog could have such a happy ending!

Major Dennis it looks to me that Congress was only able to make you an Officer as your parents had clearly already made you a Gentleman. My congratulations to them for a job well done!
You action just reaffirms that the sovereign dignity of the United States continues to be well represented by those men and women in dirty camouflage no matter how far from home they are, and no matter how hard and dirty the job handed to them is.
