One of those canines that always appears to be lucky is Griffon. The 6-month-old stray had spent so much time on the streets that he had given up on ever finding a home.

Eventually, the man’s roaming brought him into the arms of a man who rescued him in the most unexpected location—a foreign naval base.

According to a post on Facebook by Paws of War, a nonprofit that trains service dogs for veterans and first responders, “A U.S. Naval Commander saw the little dog and immediately recognized that he wouldn’t survive long alone in such a dangerous environment; scooping the pup up into his arms as he was reminded of his unit’s motto, “Those who arrive alive, leave alive,” and he knew it had to apply to this little soul as well.

Everyone on base soon became interested in meeting Griffon after learning about him.

The statement claimed that while Griffon’s care was taken, “the Commander established a wonderful bond with the pup who now follows him everywhere.” “The puppy, named Little Griffon, became a part of the family and makes everyone’s day better.

When the hero commander returns to the United States, he has decided to adopt Griffon and bring him home. The commander and Griffon will soon be reunited, according to Paws of War spokesman Gary Baumann, despite the paucity of information.

 

In his interview with The Dodo, Baumann praised Griffon as a puppy. He’s doing well, loves eating, and loving every dog he encounters.”

Baumann continued, “We’re looking for a reunion soon. The commander is from Maryland and will welcome Griffon home with a wife and kids.
