I love the story of Nubs.  A stray dog in Iraq that found love and an unlikely owner, Marine  pilot, Maj. Brian Dennis.

The story of their friendship and Nubs’ eventual transition from a dog of war to laid-back California pooch is so extraordinary Major Dennis ended up writing a children’s book about it. The book, “Nubs: The True Story of a Mutt, a Marine & a Miracle,” was just published.  (Little, Brown Young Readers.)  Watch interview here:
