Brutus

Brutus-The K9 Military Congress Medal of Honor of Iraq-

Brutus the Military K9 of the
Iraq War

Welcome to my humble blog my dearest friends and follower once again---I have a lovely story that was given to me by a dear friend that lives in Quebec Canada. It is a delightful story of honor and curious of an Military K9 Dog doing his doing during the time in the Iraq war and coming home to a new mission to protect a new family member. I hope you find this story as touching as I. Brutus the Dog was nothing like Ceasar's the brute leader in the ancient Romans. His story is quite amazing from the being to his happy end. This wonderful K9 above in the photo is Brutus, a military k9 at McChord---He is enormous some might say. Beginning part Boxer and part British Bull Mastiff.  Brutus tops the dog scales at over 200lbs. The pictures provide are taken by his handler. The photo above is Brutus running toward his owner because he knows that he has some Milkbones treats, so he's always slobbering away for a treat! He had to duck around a tree just before Brutus go to him just in case he couldn't stop, but Brutus was able too.
Just last year from his tour in Iraq Brutus was the recipient of the Congressional Medal of Honor...Brutus's handler and four other soldiers were taken hostage by insurgents in Iraq. However, Brutus and his handler communicate by sign language and he gave Brutus the signal that meant' go away but come back and find me'. The Iraqis paid no attention to Brutus. So when Brutus came back later and quietly he tore the throat out of one of the guards at the doors and another guard at another door. Brutus then jumped against one of the doors repeatedly --- the guys were being held in an old warehouse until it finally opened by Brutus continued jumping against the doors repeatedly. Once inside Brutus got to his handler untied him and they all escaped.  Brutus is the first k9 to receive his honor. If he knows you are ok, Brutus is very kind---a big old lug and wants to sit on your lap. He also enjoys the company of cats.
If you thought Brutus time in the military service as a k9 soldier and getting a Congressional Medal of Honor was interesting well there is much more to this amazing animal. Well, it seemed after the war Brutus had other talents; for example animal intelligence and bonding with humans! Remember that they can't do a lot of things for themselves and they depend on you to make their life a quality life!
How from a K9 Congressional Medal honor of saving his team in the war to instructions of properly hugging a new baby from Brutus point of view!

1-First, uh, find a baby-

2-Second, be sure that the object you found

is indeed a baby by employ classic sniffing techniques.

3-Next you will need to flatten the baby
before actually beginning the hugging process

4-The paw slide simply sides paws around
baby and prepare for possible close-up

5-Finally, if a camera is present, you will
need to execute the difficult and patented 
'Hug, Smile and lean so as to achieve the best
photo quality.

I hope that you will enjoy the 
lovely tale will warm your hearts
and souls for the heart of 
Christmas Holidays
