On this welcome back to Animal Shak, what’s more appropriate than to welcome Nubs home to the United States! Nubs traveled many miles across Iraq to reunite with his soldier friend Major Brian Dennis. Dennis just released a book about the dog’s adventure: Nubs: The True Story of a Mutt, a Marine & a Miracle. From MSNBC,
“A lot of soldiers and Marines end up connecting with dogs out there,” Dennis told Vieira. “I heard from a lot of people who’ve been in Vietnam and even World War II. I guess it’s an escape. People who are dog people, they just get it. The dog comes running up to you with his tail wagging. It was an escape from the drudgery, the mundane life out there, the bad things you see at times. It was an escape and now it’s a friend.”
