Guys. you're not smart holy. He said he had an oversized canteen cup, the re-creation did not, it isn't actual footage of him lol. He also said he wouldn't eat out of *anything* else after. Chill

I have tears in my eyes,,, Anyone else ??

You can tell how much he misses that dog.

I looked after a retired army dog that was shot. My uncle trains them for combat and he knew i give him the best retirement. I spent the last 528 days or his life with him. He passed wway peacefully in my lap on evening. He got up...jumped on the sofa for rhe first time in months. Just let me play with his head and ears and he gentle fell asleep over an hour and didn't wake up. I still miss the unconditional love buddy. Thank you, im the last person you saved. I really was

While serving in the army, my duty was to stand guard in a windowless tower at -20C in a blizzard. High danger target, huge remote location, limited resources and allways on full alert. We had a squad of guard dogs (mostly german sheppards) but they were the ones who decided when and where they would patrol. They came and went by our posts all day long. During a very bad storm, a mostly solitaire dog Aka that nobody managed to befriend, climbed up the vertical stairs to my tower and sat on my feet without me even calling her. Needless to say that my feet were frozen solid and i couldn't even feel them. She sat there for hours, untill my time was up. In return, i made sure the snow wouldn't cover her and gave her a few pats from time to time. From that day on she was MY patrol dog and everybody was surprised i managed to train her. When in fact, she chose me.

Your dog will only leave you once.

“I demand a decent bowl the one you wear on your head will do.”

This is awesome!---I had a dog like him year's ago. Cherish EVERY minute you have with him. He's a one in a million.

Thank you for knowing/hearing what your dog said! ❤

By far one of the saddest war documentary i ever watched its called war dogs of vietnam

Nothing better than a bond with a German shepherd ❤

Thank you for hearing him. ❤

Wolf is a special boy... I can see that you still miss him Sir... As we all do with those we love... 🇿🇦🩷🐕

You must still miss that dog. Don’t worry. He’s waiting for you up there.

Dogs are amazing. Most humans don't deserve them.

Amazing how dogs communicate.

That last thing he said made me tear up 🥹😅

My dad didn’t talk a lot about his time in Vietnam. But when he passed away, we found some letters that he had wrote to his dad (my grandpa) and in several of the letters, he talked about a dog he had kind of adopted. You could tell by the tone of the letters that the dog was very special to him. I can only guess, but I believe that the dog may have been his way of maintaining his humanity, in the hell hole that was Vietnam.

Fact is most mammals have sensitive feelers or what we call whiskers around their mouth area and seems as though they don't like those feelers being messed with.

I like it when people listen to their animals. They can teach us a lot if we pay attention and listen.

Great dog! And Thank-you both for y'alls service!

He's having a joyful time in heaven

Nothing like a true ,,mans best friend,,😊

That sounds like he loved you badly. My dog wouldn't sleep until I laid my dirty work shirts on the floor. Then he just kept laying on my swag cover when we were camped out chasing bulls. After that it was in my swag and I should have thought of it earlier because it was -4 to 0 every day for 8 months in the snowy river. We parted due to an injury he coped from a horse. Sad, he was buried with the best view that I've ever found in Outback Australia

He truly loved you

You found unconditional love ! I love this

Dogs are such a great gift. They spend their entire life adoring us. We should do the same for them everyday

We didn't deserve animals sometimes... So much unconditional love..

That's a beautiful story. You got me,.whoever you are...

That and he was telling you that it's too hard for a dog to eat out of a damn cup lol

Thanks for your service During Vietnam war God bless you 🙏🇺🇸🪖

True best friends

Dogs are amazing and anyone who abuse them are a special kind of evil

Its because their whiskers bother them when they rub the sides of a container while eating

Think about it, man's best friend.

THANK YOU SIRS .... BOTH OF YOU !!!!

See what you don’t understand, bro is that it doesn’t matter that the video isn’t real it’s called a enactment, and it’s about the point that the dog loved his master so much that the smell from his head sweating in that helmet made the dog feel closer to him when he was eating his food out of the helmet it’s very endearing

That was his way of telling him how much he loved him and how close they really were. That's a dogs love right there. God bless them both.

The dog simply wanted a bigger bowl lol

He wanted it in the helmet because the food is easier to eat in the helmet simple

His dog was a precious little soul!❤

My uncle couldn't stand to leave his dog behind, so he brought him back to the States with him. A few years later, he moved into an apartment that didn't allow pets. So he gave him to me to take care of. He was a solid black shepherd with markings inside his ear. Kept him till the end. What a joy for a teenage boy. R.I.P. Prince...

We should all strive to be the human our dog thinks we are.

The goodest boy

That’s one classy dog

Awwwwwww...u read each other like a book...a good book worth learning from...beautiful pup....

I think it was easier to eat out of the bigger container, ie the helmet

He's a soldier ❤😊

Dog of a mind Heart ❤️ of a Soldier 🪖.

So kind... Very heartfelt

Dogs are amazing

Smart dog/ good boy

More than blessed to have these companions in our lives!

Thank you both for your service.

Maybe he wondered why you were a bowl on your head

That over sized canteen cup wasn't big enough. That is why the dog wanted to eat out of the helmet. Regardless of what canteen cup they used in the short. That is why bowls for large dogs are so large. The correct size bowl should be approximately 4 times larger than the amount of food served. Which is what the helmet would be and not a canteen cup.

Wonderful story between 2 American Soldier's! Shepherd's Always got your back!

My very first dog as a child was a puppy German shepherd. His name was lucky. We grew together. He was only loyal to me and was my protector. he’d sit on my feet and watch the yard anytime I was out there with him. He was such a good boy 😢 miss you pup. He got hit by a car in my neighborhood in an accident. Never had a dog like him in my life. I’m 35 today. Still think about him. Unmatched loyalty and love.

I have stupid thoughts a lot and now that I am getting older I just tell people them. What if Wolf just thought it would be cool to eat out of his friend's head? Like other Scout Dogs are in the woods watching, like "damn boys, Wolf did it".

Did he bring the dog back from Vietnam? The US had a bad habit of leaving those heroes behind.

I remember seeing this documentary in my late teens. They were very tragic stories of separation. Affected me deeply for months. 😢

In war, in peace, in joy, in sorrow Dogs are the best friends you can have.

That'll do Wolf!! 🥰❤️❤️

Or that silly oversized canteen cup was too small for his snout😂

So cute. He feels like he's a real soldier and wants to use the helmet too lol

Dogs are one of lifes biggest gifts

So cute 🥺🥰

He wanted a helmet...

Hes got manners beautiful boy

Good thing he did not want to crap in it.

i need a dog bowl dammit

I wasn’t expecting to cry today.

sad that some people will never understand the bond men have with there dog.

Because dogs are great.

Thank you for sharing

Dogs are just pure awesomeness

Dogs are very special. We should never take for granted that they are always gonna be by your side. I miss you Tank, forever...

That dog was his heart. He misses. His best friend. What a wonderful dog. You loved him. You were his whole world. 😢❤❤❤❤

Great story though. I love hearing these.

Dog food must've needed salt. Sweats salty, it'll do.

That's so fucking precious

That’s a good boy right there sir !

Dogs are from Heaven

And sadly our govt betrayed and killed them all off because they fell under “during the withdrawal because they fell under “govt property” …..😢😢😢😢😢

Truly mans best friend. Sad our fur babies lives are short. We can be happy that those precious memories can live on through him ❤

Thanks to ALL who are, have, and will serve. The best of us.

Mason, Mason! Why are you wearing an oversized canteen on your head. Well you see sir my dog is using cap. Understandable carry on.

Good boy.

Thank you for this sweet, sweet story.

“I guess it just made him feel closer to me” made me teary eyed. That was his friend and his friend loved him and so did he.

You try eating out of cup with just your mouth

A good boi

Smart dog 🐕 👌 👍 😎 ❤️

Nothing is too good for a friend

We don't need no stinking can.

Good boy!!😊

Aren't animals amazing. Unconditional love❤

German shepherds are truly the best friends in the entire world

Dog just wanted to be a dog
