When animal control officers were called to a Greenville, South Carolina, neighborhood to pick up a wandering pit bull on a cold Monday in December, they didn't expect a mystery to unfold.
But inside a fold of the dog's collar, they found a wrinkled black-and-white photo. It had no name or date. A smiling man seated on a railing looks straight into the camera -- but, beyond that, the photo offers no clues.
The friendly tan canine, now named Soldier because the man in the photo may be wearing a military uniform, was skinny but well-behaved, said Susan Bufano, community relations coordinator with Greenville County Animal Care. He was not neutered or microchipped.

Appears to be wearing old style fatigues that the AF/Army stopped using in the ‘80’s. I cannot see if he is wearing any rank insignia, name tape or US Army/US Air Force tape. The pockets are level so it doesn’t appear to be Viet-Nam era fatigues. AF used a white t-shirt up until the mid 80’s, I think the Army switched from a white t-shirt to OD t-shirt before that. It may be a basic training photo.
He was not neutered or microchipped.

They can’t possibly tell that from the photo./sarc on
