If you haven’t had a chance, please go and read my post “SFC Zeke” first. Zeke is one of America’s Vet Dogs.
Today, I had an opportunity to hang out with Zeke again. To say that these therapy dogs are a gift from heaven would be an understatement. It’s amazing what a mere animal can do for troops in a combat zone. Everything else disappears except that big, black furball of love.
Anyway, because Zeke does so much for our troops, I was wondering if I could ask a favor. I’d like to show SFC Zeke my appreciation and give him a nice care package. Unfortunately, they don’t sell dog toys here. His handler told me that he would prefer that I don’t give him treats since he gained too much weight on his last deployment. They are closely monitoring his diet.
