SAN DIEGO — A San Diego-based Marine major was reunited Saturday with one of his closest war buddies — a 2-year-old dog named Nubs.
Nubs greeted Maj. Brian Dennis at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar when the fighter pilot returned from Iraq.
It was the first time the two were together since Dennis' family and close friends helped raise $3,500 to fly the dog to San Diego about a month ago. Nubs wasn't allowed to stay on base in Iraq.
Dennis, 36, of St. Pete Beach, Fla., had spotted the mongrel dog while on patrol in Anbar province and later nursed the animal back to health after finding him stabbed with a screwdriver.
He named the dog Nubs after learning someone cut the ears off believing it would make the dog more aggressive and alert.
