This is a great essay on a retired military pooch, “Dyngo”:

These dogs have very interesting, fragile lives.
Thank you for posting this story my screen is all blurry, takes a very special person to retire one of these dogs the ideal situation would be retirement with their handler HOWEVER I hope they ALL find loving homes with that special person who has the patience!!! The very sad thing is that after the new owner goes through this very rough repatriation period with the animal the bond would become SO STRONG and the animal’s life span with that person would be very short .....SAD!!!!
