Joe Lovelace with his scout dog Buck. He was a one man dog, wouldnt accept a new handler and the Army wouldnt let Joe take him home at EOT. Buck was euthanized, and Joe never owned another dog.  Buck was credited with saving many lives when deployed with Joe, who was also a tunnel rat.  Photo of a photo that hangs on the wall of honor in a restaurant in Joe's hometown.

Dog is GOD spelled backwards.   One of His best creations.  Cats are cool, too.    Airborne Daddy  1SGT and CMoH Leonard A. Funk, Jr. (1916-1992)  and a friend gonna  take a little trip over Europe during WW II.     Wonder if it was the pooch's first jump.  Thanks be to God for Dogs.    And this thread's the best.
