Dennis thought the soldier was talking about a person, but when he found out it was Nubs he ran out to see him and the dog went crazy jumping on him, overjoyed to see his friend.
Dennis couldn’t believe it. Nubs had followed him 75 miles on foot! No one had any idea how the loyal dog had made the journey. Despite the rule against having pets, Dennis and his Marines built a doghouse for Nubs and let him stay.
Unfortunately, a senior command received a complaint and Dennis was ordered to get rid of the dog. But Dennis knew that this time he could not say goodbye to his friend again and it was his turn to be a loyal friend.
Ultimately, with the help of friends, Dennis was able to raise the money needed to get Nubs shipped home. They received a lot of support from kind strangers and friends in the US and in Iraq, who all helped in getting Nubs and Dennis back together. Back at home, Dennis was inspired to write a book about his adventures with Nubs.
