Adorable Puppy Rescued Afar Has A Heartwarming Reunion With the Army Sergeant Who Saved Her
No matter where you live in the world, there are probably dogs and puppies in need.
Army Sergeant Webb came across a little stray dog in need of help while she was serving in the U.S. military overseas. The skinny black and brown puppy was the weakest in a group of stray dogs, and Sergeant Webb's heart broke when she saw how much the dog was struggling.
She immediately began caring for the poor puppy, whom she named PupPup, raising her while performing her other duties. However, Webb's tour ended sooner than expected, and she was concerned that she would have to leave PupPup behind.
Webb and the puppy had formed an incredible bond, and it would break her heart to leave. It was also possible that the now-thriving dog would be equally heartbroken without Webb.
Webb reached out to Paws of War, a nonprofit organization that helps military personnel bring animals like PupPup back to the U.S., hoping they could assist in bringing PupPup home.
Look at this squishy puppy.
The bond between a person and their puppy.
“I’m desperately asking Paws of War to help me bring my beautiful, helpless PupPup back to America with me because I can’t stand the thought of leaving her behind,” Webb wrote to Paws of War. “This place can be very harsh for dogs, and I fear she will die if she is left behind. Plus, we have formed such a strong bond that means everything to me. I can’t turn my back on her and would be forever grateful for the help to get her home.”
Those puppy dog eyes tell no lies.
Robert Misseri, co-founder of Paws of War, immediately began working on this case. “We got on the ground while [Webb] was still serving,” Misseri told reporters. “She was about a week and a half from leaving, so we knew we had a very short window to get PupPup.”
First, they took PupPup to a vet to be vaccinated and then organized a foster home for her to quarantine in until she could be transported. After several delayed and canceled flights, the dog could finally board a plane and head off to her new future.
When PupPup finally arrived, Webb couldn't believe it.
“She didn’t believe it until she finally showed up there,” Misseri told reporters. “She has called me every day since and texted me that she still can’t believe that PupPup is with her. She said it would have weighed very heavily on her heart if she had to leave PupPup there.”
PupPup and Sergeant Webb couldn’t be happier to be together at last.
“They’ve become inseparable,” Misseri said.
