Here’s a photo selection from the war-dog road, we’ll go back to regular programming with next week’s post.
In the above photo, Cpl. Javier Gandia, gives MWD TTroy some love.
‘I’m just a dog lover, TTroy is a great dog,’ says Cpl. Javier Gandia, 22, fire team leader, from San Juan, Puerto Rico. ‘It’s cool to be deployed and still play with a dog.’
‘The Marines are very pleased with my dog, TTroy," said Cpl. Derrick Magee, 21, TTroy’s handler. "He helps keep us alive and I keep him happy…’"
Rebecca Frankel, on leave from her FP desk, is currently working on a book about military working dogs to be published by Free Press.
