It’s not every day that you hear a veteran calling someone else a hero, but that’s exactly how 12-year U.S. Army veteran Nicholas Bailey is praising an 8-year-old girl.
Bailey never thought anyone would ever “show any interest” in the Army veteran and his service dog, Abel, until he met 8-year-old Rachel Mennett.
