War Hero



The K9 above is Brutus, a military K9 at McChord.  He's huge - part Boxer and part British Bull Mastiff and tops the scales at  200 lbs. His handler took the picture. Brutus is running toward me because he  knows I have some Milk Bone treats, so he's slobbering away! I had to duck  around a tree just before he got to me in case he couldn't stop, but he did.  Brutus won the Congressional Medal of Honor last year from his tour in Iraq.  His handler and four other soldiers were taken hostage by insurgents. Brutus and his handler communicate by sign language and he gave Brutus the signal  that meant 'go away but come back and find me'. The Iraqis paid no attention to Brutus. He came back later and quietly tore the throat out of one guard at one door and another guard at another door. He then jumped against one of the  doors repeatedly (the guys were being held in an old warehouse) until it opened. He went in and untied his handler and they all escaped. He's the first  K9 to receive this honor. If he knows you're ok, he's a big old lug and wants  to sit in your lap. Enjoys the company of cats.

K-9 Congressional Medal of Honor  Winner

Remember that they can't do a lot of things for  themselves and that they depend on you to make their life a quality  life!


A PETS   TEN COMMANDMENTS.........  

1. My life is likely to last  10-15 years.  Any separation from you is likely to be  painful.

2. Give me time  to understand what you want of me.

3. Place your trust in me.  It is crucial for  my well-being.

4. Don't  be angry with me for long and don't lock me up as punishment.  You have  your work, your friends, your entertainment, but I have only you.  

5. Talk to me.  Even if I  don't understand your words, I do understand your voice when speaking to  me.

6. Be aware that  however you treat me, I will never forget it.

7. Before you hit me, before you strike me,  remember that I could hurt you, and yet, I choose not to bite you.  

8. Before you scold me for being  lazy or uncooperative, ask yourself if something might be bothering me.   Perhaps I' m not getting the right food, I have been in the sun too long, or my  heart might be getting old or weak.

9. Please take care of me when I grow old.  You  too, will grow old.

10.  On the ultimate difficult journey, go with me please.  Never say you  can't bear to watch.

Don't make me face this alone.  Everything is  easier for me if you are there, because I love you so.    

~Take a moment today to  thank God for your pets.  Enjoy and take good care of them.  

Life would be a much  duller, less joyful experience without God's critters  

Fake.

Among other things, can a dog anywhere "quietly" tear the throat out of anyone?  "Quietly"?  Let alone 2 people.  And then proceed to knock down a door that American soldiers couldn't?

Tess,   You may be completely and totally correct.  I even asked myself  "quietly, really?"  But I'm going to choose to go with it, because it makes me feel good.  And, I like the message under the story......  Try not to be so cynical.

Spot on Tess bet he can't put a fruit pastile in his mouth without chewin it ................................... bullshit !

This HOAX has been going around since January.

Also "Congressional Medal of Honor". is incorrect. The correct name for the medal is simply the "Medal of Honor".

 

Yea and he has'nt even got a Helmet ,or a tank ,or or or a pair of BOOTS !

Whatever mix it may be, it's not a Boxer Bullmastiff cross... that's for sure! 

Tearing the throats of people out... quietly? 

OK, let's all concur that I'm an idiot.  Sorry to waste your time.  Damn, maybe I should just go out and shoot myself in the head.  I guess if I had put a speedo on the dog or pasted nearly naked human mammary glands on him, it would have been a much more viable post........

Hey, it was entertaining and I'd not seen it before!

Calm down Hailey nobody said u were an idiot and there is no need to shoot yourself .....only havin a laugh !

Two Scottish nuns have just arrived in USA by boat and one says to the other, "I hear that the people of this country actually eat dogs." "Odd," her companion replies, "but if we shall live in America , we might as well do as the Americans do."

Nodding emphatically, the mother superior points to a hot dog vendor and they both walk towards the cart. "Two dogs, please," says one.

The vendor is too pleased to oblige, wraps both hot dogs in foil, and hands them over the counter. Excited, the nuns hurry to a bench and begin to un-wrap their 'dogs'. The mother superior begins to blush and, then, staring at it for a moment, leans to the other nun and whispers cautiously, "What part... did you get...?"
