Sgt Adopts Dog that Saved Him in A-stan

This sergeant and his wife adopted this dog, and got it transported here from A-stan.

That dog is not a military dog. I assume the dog was a stray, along with the other mentioned, that was adopted by the unit over there in A-stan.

Amazing. US DoD official policy was not to bring dogs back from the Vietnam War. Few dogs came back. Over 3,000 dogs served in RVN. A hand full came back. Many of us were simply destroyed. Many a sobbing handler shot his dog rather than turn him or her over to the Vietnamese.

Things have improved for dogs.
