Layka

One fateful evening in Afghanistan, this beautiful working dog saved her handlers life. As they made entry into a building, she was shot 4 times in defense of her team. She then continued on through the pain and subdued the shooter. Upon her return to the United States, the military intended to retire her, by putting her down.

"She saved our life so I had to save her life." Staff Sgt. Julian McDonald

Good on him for saving her! Reminds me of the following poem:

"I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself. A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough without ever having felt sorry for itself.” -- D. H. Lawrence

She doesn't even care that she was injured. She's just happy to be doing whatever it is she does!
