I know this might not seem like much to some but could y’all who understand please pray for my son? My youngest is a combat Veteran who served in Iraq, when he left the military in 2012 he started looking for a dog to rescue for companionship. Eventually he found Corbin, an Amstaff/American Bulldog mix whose spirit was broken because he was used as a bait dog for fighting dogs. Dave adopted him and they ended up rescuing each other. My son needed that dog as much or more than Corbin needed him. Last night Corbin passed in his sleep after about a year dealing with severe arthritis and hip dysplasia. My son has had a hard time with showing grief since the war though and now he’s 42 and just had his 12th wedding anniversary yesterday and lost his best friend last night, Corbin was about 15 years old. He was an awesome dog, I’ll always remember how much he helped my son after coming home from Iraq and how my son gave Corbin a great life. Thanks guys….

Corbin is the tan one, Venus is the darker one who passed last year. She was my daughter-in-law’s dog. They were both great dogs.

Balad I got medevac'd to there once in 2004.

Prayer for your Son. And tell him Thank you for me and welcome home Brother.

If my advice means anything tell him to get another puppy ASAP. He won't have time to think about the loss.
