I knew this was going to make me cry. It did. I hope this dog gives some comfort to the parents and they to him. God Bless our soldiers and their families.

Something is wrong with my monitor; every time I read this story, it becomes uncharacteristically blurry.

I'm posting some more pictures of Eli, the bomb-sniffing dog, Pfc. Colton Rusk, and his family, who adopted Eli. Thought you might enjoy seeing them. There's one particularly poignant one of Colton's 12-year-old brother and Eli. Sad and beautiful at the same time.
Colton and Eli panting together. :)
The ceremony turning Eli over to Colton's family.
Eli greets Brady Rusk, Colton's 12-year-old brother. Nobody can convince me that dog doesn't somehow know those are Colton's people.
