Those of you who know our Tucson real estate team are aware that we love animals and so occasionally we'll post stories about our four-legged friends. This is a great story.
A San Diego based Marine major was reunited on Saturday with one of his closets war buddies -- a 2 year old dog named Nubs.
Nubs greeted Major Brian Dennis at Miramar Marine Corps Air Station when the fighter pilot returned from Iraq.
It was the first time the two were together since Dennis' family and close friends helped raise $3500 to fly the dog to San Diego about a month ago. Nubs wasn't allowed to stay on base in Iraq.
Dennis, 36, of St. Pete Beach, Fla., had spotted the mongrel dog while on patrol in Anbar province and later nursed the animal back to health after finding him stabbed with a screwdriver.
He named the dog Nubs after learning someone cut the ears off believing it would make the dog more aggressive and alert.
