KIA, 6 July 07, Cooper (http://mikegulf.blogspot.com/2007/07/korys-best-friend.html), along with his handler Kory Wiens.

Cpl. Wiens was named for his Grandfaher who was also a military dog handler. This July, Cooper and Kory came home from Iraq and were buried (http://www.armytimes.com/news/2007/07/army_canineteam_070722w/)together. If you're interested in more photos, his sister has a video tribute on her my space page. (http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=116041789)

Today, I'll spend a moment being grateful for dogs like Cooper and young fellows like Kory.

And even though its been 36 years, I'll also remember my old sentry dog (http://www.angelfire.com/tx/netessentials/BWB/Puppy.html).



They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years contemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

Unokitty,
Thanks so much for sharing the story of the K9 teams, Kory and Cooper and more via the link.

Remembering our soldiers (human and K9). -g
