Man's best friend. Loyalty. Unconditional love. These are just some of the things that come to mind when I think of the description of what a dog is. So many times we always seem to remember the human soldiers but not until recently have we really brought attention to the four legged soldiers that are such an integral part of helping securing the freedom and opportunities that we have here in the US. Even though they may be of different species, that doesn't signify that their life or the work they do has lesser value. Just think of all the "accidents" they have prevented just by using their nose and their keen sense of intuition. We have to give credit where credit is due as this is a unique team - man and dog working together to make things better.
With that mentioned, I was excited to speak about this human/animal bond to the students of Adelphi University and bring awareness to the special bond of a soldier and his dog. The students were amazing in writing many thank you cards to our K-9 unit and making the colorful posters. Take a peek of the work they did and be sure to see the finished results as it was doggone great! Above I included a link if you may be interested in knowing more on how you can support this wonderful K-9 team through the organization, Soldiers Angels.

"The one absolutely unselfish friend that man can have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him, the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous, is his dog. A man's dog stands by him in prosperity and poverty, in health and sickness. He will sleep on the cold ground where the wintry winds blow and the snow drives fiercely, if only he may be near his master's side. He will kiss the hand that has no food to offer, he will lick the wounds and sores that come in encounter with the roughness of the world. He guards the sleep of his pauper master as if he were a prince. When all other friends desert he remains. When riches take wings and reputation falls to pieces, he is as constant in his love as the sun in its journey everyday."
-Josh Billings
