Today, let's talk about a special group of military dogs
Today's protagonist is a German Shepherd called Rex, don't underestimate it, people are dogs with legitimate occupations, Rex is a military "search dog", has served in three combat units, participated in the Iraq War, participated in military anti-terrorism work for more than 11,575 hours, inspected more than 6,220 vehicles, just look at these numbers, you know how much it has contributed to people, but even such a heroic dog also has to face a problem, When people and troops no longer need them, when they can't work for humanity, where their fate will go.
In fact, many people may not know that these dogs who have made outstanding contributions to mankind have been euthanized most of them after retiring, which seems to be very ruthless, but the army also has its own grievances.
These military dogs, have received strict training, most of them have participated in the mission, once returned to society, when they encounter similar situations again, it will be easy to threaten the safety of human life, on the other hand, once these dogs fall into the hands of bad people, the harm coefficient is also extremely high, so the army also has no way, can only take the way of euthanasia of dogs.
However, Rex was fortunate that during his service, he met a partner who could be entrusted with the rest of his life, Megan Levy. From the moment they met, a journey of redemption began with each other.
Megan Levy grew up in a divorced family, her mother cheated on her father's best friend and divorced, and then, little Megan lived with her mother and stepfather, which also created Megan's rebellious personality, once became a "problem girl", but Megan just wanted to rebel, with this rebellion to escape her life, but megan's heart is just a simple girl who longs to be loved.
Adolescent Megan in a time with a good friend to use contraband because the amount is not mastered, her friend died in front of her, that is her best friend, even Christmas such a family reunion day, Megan will stay in her friend's house, and friends and her family to spend, but now her best friend died in front of her, which made Megan fall into a deep self-blame, she wanted to escape, escape from this chaotic life, just at this time, she saw the poster of the conscription, Therefore, the "problem girl" Megan resolutely embarked on the road of joining the army.
At first, Megan was also lazy before the change, often failing in the examination, until once after violating discipline, Megan was punished to clean the barracks of military dogs, where Megan met Rex for the first time, the fiercest dog in the whole barracks, who would yell at her and refuse her approach. But Megan became interested in Ricks.
So, out of the barracks of the military dogs, Megan and her superiors applied to join the demolition unit, at first the superiors were not allowed, and put forward harsh training requirements for her, but as if to find her own goal of struggle, Megan overcame many difficulties, actually completed all the training subjects, successfully joined the demolition team, and when participating in the Iraq War, was arranged to be with Ricks.
At the beginning, as a "veteran" Rex, is very despised of Megan, always alone, will not be too close to his "comrades-in-arms", but with contact, Megan gradually found that Rex is also eager to be loved, but, do not know how to express, want to be loved, but more afraid of being hurt, fortunately simply put on a "I am very bad" look, keep a good distance, after understanding Rex's personality, Megan slowly influenced Rex, let it know, she is a trustworthy partner, fortunately, Megan really did it, really entered Rex's heart, rex also really accepted her as a partner, and then they were born and died together, excellent to complete one task after another, and in the process, not only did Rex find a partner who could rely on him wholeheartedly, Megan also transformed from a "problem girl" into a real warrior.

It was not until during an outing, Megan and Ricks, injured by the enemy bomb, in the moment before the explosion, found that the wrong Rex threw Megan down as fast as possible, only to save Megan's life, fortunately, although one person and one dog were injured, they safely withdrew to the camp and received treatment in time.
After this incident, Megan applied for retirement, while Rex was treated and taken over by other dog trainers to continue his mission in Afghanistan.
However, after leaving Rex, Megan is like losing the motivation of life, she misses Rex madly, longs to be with Rex again, preferably to live with Rex, but the troops do not agree to Megan taking Rex, because they still need Rex.
Megan did not give up on Rex and kept an eye on Rex's situation, until later, Megan learned from her comrades that Rex could no longer perform tasks due to health reasons, and when she was about to retire, Megan felt hope, so she made a request to the troops to adopt Rex, but was again rejected by the troops.
This time Meghan was in a hurry, because she knew that dogs like Rex might soon be euthanized after retiring, so she participated in TV shows, gave interviews, collected signatures from the public, and even contacted members of Congress at the time, resulting in the matter causing national concern in the United States at that time, and finally, the troops agreed to Megan's adoption request.
Finally, after 6 years of separation, Megan and Rex met again, but at this time, Rex' health was already very poor, years of service, mission, brought it a body of pain, after living with Megan for 8 months, Rex left this world with Megan's love.
I think that Megan and Rex are both happy, Megan ushered in the light brought to her by Rex in her gray life, and Rex also experienced the love that Megan had always longed for but never received, although, only spent a peaceful 8 months, but who can say that this relationship is not unforgettable enough?
The story was later adapted into a movie, released in 2017, called "War Dog Rex", interested friends can go to search for it.
