One thing I will say about dogs. They are truly the best friend of both males and females during the times of need.
U S Army Sergeant Kevyn Solarez was in Iraq last year when he met a puppy who is a mixed breed Shepherd puppy named Josie.
Solarez became great friends with Josie since the toughest time for any soldier serving overseas is being lonely serving your nation.
When Solarez came back to Austin Texas, he brought back his new friend who is now five months of age. before he had to return back to Iraq for a 45 day deployment leaving Josie with a service member to take care of his dog.
Thanks to the International SPCA, Solarez was able to adopt his new best friend Josie when he returned from Iraq on Friday at the airport.

I am so happy he brought his friend he met there with him and that he adopted her.

I agree with you Josie is the reason that his sadness during the holidays was softened by taking care of his new found dog while he was in Iraq.

@Deepizzaguy It was really a great story. I am sure they are continuing the happy thoughts and catch up on the things that they had left behind.

I agree with you since Josie became his best friend while Kevyn was in Iraq during the holidays when she came to his post.
