SWNS_WAR_DOG_007

A homeless dog that brought comfort to soldiers overseas is being transported to America to live with one of those soldiers. Duke, a three-year-old mixed breed, became like family to Sergeant Kelsey (an alias) and his US Army unit in Kosovo in 2021, after they found him looking for food around their base. See SWNS story SWNYduke. His visits and wagging tail soon became the highlight of their days, bringing them comfort far from home.Sgt. Kelsey in particular bonded with the pooch and wanted to get him to a better life, out of danger.Staff at New York-based organization Paws of War committed to help bring Duke to the U.S., so he and the sergeant could be together once more.
