I almost cried my eyes out at work when I read this story. My pitbull did something similar. My mother’s house went into forclosure and I have to find a place for me and my dog. I moved in with my boyfriend who also owns a pitbull. A week after my dog hadn’t seen my family since we moved. It was a friday, my sister-in-law wanted to take her out for a walk because she seem aggitated. I was sone of those rainy weeks,very ugly outside. When I received a call at work that my dogs had run away. I was devastated! Didn’t know what to do! So I called my boyfriend and he advised me to go to the old house. I didn’t think I was a good idea at all. Well, crying my eyes out and with the animal control on my cellphone, arrived to the house…there she was, sucking wet…. Scratching the door…my Rage Jr. Sat down on the wet pavement…crying my heart out like I have never done it before. She is faithful to me and my family, I will be faithful to her. Hope you like my story.

I want to THANK Major Dennis for his serving & sacrifice first of all! My husband served 6 years in the Marine Corp in the early 90’s & is now in the USAF(got back in at 38 as he LOVES the military!), but he will ALWAYS consider himself a MARINE! He lost 2 of his dogs Dec & June & I lost 1 in May
They were our best friends EVER & I still cry that we lost 3 in such a short period & I know my husband misses his Maggie as they went everywhere together as I know Major Brian Dennis will be that special person to Nubs! The story is truly a testament that if you show a dog compassion & love, their loyalty to their persons knows no bounds as they do have like 200,000 more smell sensors than humans?!(meaning the time Major Dennis showed this poor dog what all dogs need, love, kindness, etc.I know that’s why Nubs found him!!
Thank you & your company for sacrificing the comforts of home, leaving behind family & friends & especially for bringing home a friend that will ALWAYS be there for you in good times & the bad times I hope you read this as I really want you to thank your company as I don’t think you soldiers get credit for what you do, if I could change 1 thing, it would be for everyone in AMERICA to realize what you military members go thru on a daily basis. THANK YOU MAJOR BRIAN DENNIS for helping Nubs & my husband & I are so thankful you are home. God Bless

What a heart warming story. They ARE the most amazing companion a person could have. Total unconditional love. They do not care how much $ you make, what kind of day you have had, how bad u look. They just want show love and be loved.
Now he will be a real citizen dog of the good ol’ U.S. OF A.

Hooray for Brian and Nubs!
Nubs’ long trek to find his friend reminds me of the “Lassie Come Home” movie, which was produced when I was a child. If you have a child who has thoroughly enjoyed the article about Nubs, I suggest that you take him to see the old movie. (Maybe rent it.)
I am touched by reading about this loving, hardy dog.

I was so overwhelmed by the love of this man for his best friend. Thank you so much major. Your story touched the hearts of my family as well as we are all animal lovers. Glad to see that you are reunited with Nubs.

Major Dennis Thank you for caring for Nub’s. I know the feeling there is to have an animal’s true love. And Nub’s needed your love as much as you needed his at that time being in Iraq away from your family and friend’s. Major Dennis thank you for also being there to show other’s we are not bad people in the USA we want to make sure other’s can speak and feel free as we do, May God watch over you and Nub’s from another Marine’s (GunnySgt. Gardner Chipman O’Brien) Thank you and God Bless

Thank you for your work and publishing this wonderful story. Please note that Major Dennis is NOT “a soldier.” He is a “Marine.”

That’s no slight to our soldiers nor Major Dennis. But “soldiers” are in the United States Army. “Marines” are, well, Marines.

They work really well together, but the Marines are in the Department of the Navy.

Major Dennis is a fine man.

Dogs are amazing creatures. Some strays recognize love & kindness in a human immediately. Others take longer. Once that happens, a dog only wants to, has to be with that person.

It’s fitting and admirable that Major Dennis did anything necessary to get Nubs to San Diego and reward that quality and love. And also admirable that his family and friends helped financially. Wishing the Major a safe return home, a great long life to both he & Nubs.

Lost Dog Blues, a song I wrote about this subject & people like Major Dennis , can be heard on Rhapsody, iTunes,Tradebit, etc. Artist: Larry Thurston. CD title: School For Fools. Lost Dog Blues. Levon Helm, from The Band, is the drummer.

Major Dennis, I salute you.

I was looking to see if more money was required for Nubs, and apparently that’s been taken care of. So please just let the Major know he is my hero and his actions have not only warmed my heart – they demonstrate on an international level the very best that America can muster.
