Stray Dogs Save Soldiers From Suicide Bomber

While 50 soldiers slept silently, a suicide bomber on the mission to destroy an entire army camp crept up with the intention of detonating a killer bomb. The plan didn’t fare well for the would be bomber thanks to three stray dogs keeping watch over the camp.  

Rufus, Target and Sasha, which were named by the soldiers, alerted the sleeping soldiers to the attack, and left the bomber no choice but to detonate the bomb before reaching his destination closer to the sleeping soldiers.

The terrorist himself was killed, however only a handful of the soldiers were injured along with Rufus and Target. Unfortunately, Sasha was also killed in the blast.

Sgt Chris Duke was one of the soldiers injured by some shrapnel in the blast, however, he attributes the barking of the dogs for saving all the soldiers and now he is adopting Rufus. The Phoenix army medic that who in turn saved Targets life after the blast, will be adopting Target.

Two non profit organizations, Roberts Cause, and the Puppy Rescue Mission helped to make the reunion possible between the dogs and their new thankful owners. Both dogs are currently in Georgia reunited with Sgt Duke and his other three dogs until Target heads out to Arizona to be with his new owner.
