Fifteen-month-old Briana N. Porter, daughter of Maj. Dustin M. Porter stares in awe at five-year-old Nubs during his visit to Camp Pendleton’s Country Store, Dec. 5. The wild Iraqi dog is famous for making a 70-mile journey through the Iraqi desert to reunite with Maj. Brian P. Dennis, aircraft maintenance officer, Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 314, 3rd Marine Air Wing, after the two bonded during Dennis’s 2007 deployment. The recently published story, “Nubs: The True Story of a Marine, a Mutt and a Miracle,” has already made the New York Times’ children’s best seller list and is expected hit the big screen after Warner Bro.’s acquired movie rights last month.(Lance Corporal Daniel Boothe)

Hmmm, Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 314, 3rd Marine Air Wing must not have been subject to General Order No 1.

I really felt sorry for the ferral dogs I saw in Iraq; One of them pulled a human leg from the burn pit at Balad where everything was burned including human remains. The smoke had a ghastly smell and was everywhere.
