I’ve been gone for the last few days because I’ve been spending time with my brother and his wife…they live in Cincinnati so I don’t get to see them very much.  During that time, a very important event occurred. Their dog Lex got to meet Will!  As  you can see, Will was thrilled…

This Veteran’s Day I want to celebrate the amazing service and homecomings of our military men and women through the eyes of the dogs who love them.  These videos are so touching and show how much dogs are bonded to their families, even after not seeing them for months. Enjoy!
