Dogs Welcoming Home Soldiers
« on: November 11, 2009, 01:33:16 PM »
Get the tissues at the ready.   For the non dog lovers there is a compilation of reunions with children at the end.

I can’t begin to imagine how hard it would be to leave my family for months at a time, especially if my destination were Iraq or Afghanistan. And I don’t know how I could deal with my wife being deployed overseas. These reunion videos—for me, at least—shed a tiny beam of light on how emotionally draining being a military family can be. They’ll also make you want a dog. To commemorate Veterans Day, here are some overjoyed dogs greeting returning soldiers....

Thanks, Bijou. Dogs are indeed the best. The people at the nursing home love having SR's and my greyhounds come to visit once a month. I can't even think of life without the pooches. Our own add such joy to SR's and my lives.

This is indeed heartwarming.

I ain't all that warm 'n fuzzy, but dogs just take you as you are -- warts 'n all.

Come to think of it, unions do create jobs. Companies have to hire two workers to do the work of one.
