Nubs and Major Dennis reunited
Marine Maj. Brian Dennis returned from Iraq Saturday and was reunited with Nubs, the street mutt he and his fellow soldiers rescued and, with help from friends and family, had shipped back to the United States.
The two-year-old dog greeted Dennis at Miramar Marine Corps Air Station Saturday.
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.
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.
For a full account of the reunion, with video, check out the San Diego Tribune's report here.

So great to read that Major Dennis made it home safe. I'll bet the two war veterans help each other adjust to living back in the States.
Semper Fido.

Nice that Marine Corp. spin doctors are in full swing using this non-news worthy story as a cover up for the Marine puppy tossing incident. Can someone please investigate that story and give us updates, or are you just a tool for the US military?
