When our men and women in the military leave home, they’re very often not just leaving friends and family behind, but also beloved pets who miss them just as much.
One big concern for soldiers being deployed is who will care for their animals. Some have family or friends that can care for their fur kids, but when that isn’t an option, there are other ways to care for these fur kids. Army Veteran Abner Gonzalez enlisted the help of the non-profit Dogs On Deployment during his service, and the organization was able to take care of his German shepherd, Sophie, while he was away!
Abner thought that he was speaking to WXYZ-TV about the non-profit and its work while shopping at a pet supply store, but little did he know that he was brought there for an entirely different reason. Sophie was there with him, excited to have her human friend back at home and the two were awarded with a $500 shopping spree for Sophie! What a wonderful day for these two!
