Soldiers Fall In Love With 4 Dogs Overseas And Fly Them 4,000 Miles To Forever Homes.

Soldiers Fall In Love With 4 Dogs Overseas And Fly Them 4,000 Miles To Forever Homes.

I enjoyed reading this story this morning. Two different soldiers in two different locations each saved two dogs who showed up at their bases one day. They loved and cared for them and ended up flying them home to be part of their families. A sweet story to read with my first cup of coffee. Then, as I was coming to the end of the story, the last photo hit me. There was another dog in a rocking chair that belonged to one of the families. I zoomed in a little. Yep, it was a papillon. And, it looked almost exactly like our Calypso that we lost to health problems a little over a year ago. Here is the photo from the article and below it is Calypso. God, I miss her!
