You may have heard about this inspirational story of an unbreakable bond between a U.S. Marine and a stray dog from Iraq, which aired on the Today Show a couple days ago.

If you haven't, I've included the video below. 

The story is so touching, I just had to share it.

It is a beautiful story of a stray dog, who had suffered the abuse of an Iraqi soldier, that captured the heart of a U.S. Marine, Dennis, while serving duty in Iraq.  After becoming briefly separated, the dog walked 75 miles to be reunited with the soldier.  Although it is against policy for soldiers to care for dogs while serving, Dennis was determined to keep him. 

He arranged for the dog to be flown to his home in San Diego, where Dennis would eventually meet up with him.  The cost of the dog's travel was going to amount to $5,000, but with the overwhelming help of his friends and strangers back in the U.S., his dog was able to make the trip. 

Dennis and 'Nubs' are now inseparable.
