There was a sweet reunion Wednesday after a soldier was reunited with his war buddy, a bomb-sniffing dog named Donna.

The two were deployed to Afghanistan in 2011.

“She was excellent. You could unclip her from the leash and she could find something a mile away,” her handler, U.S. Army Specialist Tyler Roberts, said.

When they got home, Roberts planned to adopt Donna. The only problem was he could not find her.

“Donna”

Oh, Donna
Oh, Donna
Oh, Donna
Oh, Donna

I had a girl
Donna was her name
Since she left me
I’ve never been the same

‘Cause I love my girl
Donna, where can you be?
Where can you be?

Now that you’re gone
I’m left all alone
All by myself
To wander and roam

‘Cause I love my girl
Donna, where can you be?
Where can you be?

Oh, darlin’, now that you’re gone
I don’t know what I’ll do
All the time and all my love
For you

Awesome. Beautiful dog. I hope she has a long and happy retirement filled with chew toys and the occasional meaty bone. Shepherds down meaty bones like peanut brittle.
