“A U.S. Naval Commander saw the little dog and immediately recognized he wouldn’t survive long alone in such a dangerous environment; scooping the pup up into his arms as he was reminded of his unit’s motto ‘Those who arrive alive, leave alive’ and he knew it had to apply to this little soul too,” reported Paws Of War, a non-profit organization.

Thanks to Paws of War, a non-profit organization that supports veterans with service dogs, Griffon was transported from the base to his new home in Maryland.

He reunited with the Commander, the first person who saw his potential and the first to show him love.

Today, Griffon is a beloved member of his new family, bringing joy and light into their lives. He serves and protects them just as his human dad does.
