Django, the Iraq war dog, reunited with SA handler after two years

Embedded image from another site


Working side-by-side for 18 months, the two became inseparable and when Holland finished his contract with the AMK9 unit, he promised his furry friend that he would one day live with him in South Africa.

Awww what a touching story.
Nice dog !!!
Hi Cc, While working away from home there are some guys that are inclined to make promises now and the to certain people (and animals)grin that bond with you. Its just great to actually see this promise of reuniting fulfilled.bouquet
Hi Snook, yea, a man and his dog.. A bond there for sure.bouquet
The minute Django layed eyes on Holland, he strained to free himself from the kennel handler’s grip.

The second he was released from his leash, Django sprinted towards Holland.

There was no doubt that he remembered exactly who Holland was.

This after 2 years.thumbs up
Luke. I once watched a story of an Alsation's bond with a guy. Where the guy left for work, by train and never came back. And the dog waited at the station. for years till it died, with everyone giving it food. They put up a statue of the dog for all to remember the devotion.

Animals are amazing creatures...good video and love the story...like the cat video too...wine laugh
Hi Lou, agreed.

Just chatted to a SA friend who now lives in Canada and was amazed how many SA guys are living there permanently. Sacanada interesting forum.bouquet
Luke. I also have a Moslem friend in Canada. It is very cold there and winter is terrible. U have to stay indoors most of the time. But he walks with crutches and battle outside anyway, so naturally stay inside. Is it worth going to another country except for the lifestyle, if u stay inside most of the time?
Aw ... lovely blog.

Tons of South Africans in Vancouver, my BFF moved there 25 years ago and the climate is better than Scotland, they're very happy there.

Before they got there, they were told a story about how many Safricans there were in Vancouver: back in the days when the NP were still in power and the ANC was a banned organisation, the wife of the SA ambassador in Canada used to bake Safrican goodies to sell and once received a huge order for koeksusters, she baked and baked and arrived to deliver the 20 dozen - to find the event was an ANC rally. Oops!

Hey, like she cared. Money is money, in politics as everywhere else.
laugh

Canada is a place where many call home...it may be cold in the winter (Vancouver being the exception) but summer for most places is hot...no idea where some get the impression that many spend the days inside...confused

Most of the population is on the fringe of the border to US...Vancouver being the mildest places (for weather) in Canada...wine
Lou. He really stays indoors most of the time. Mainly due to his disability, but also mainly because it is difficult to use the crutches in the snow.

I haven't spoken to him in a couple of months so don't know how summer is there.

He had a very bad winter for having to take the bus to go to night school as well. He even battled to get groceries and the shop was not far away.
