How a Medal of Honor Dog Hugs a Baby (Not sure about MoH but ...)

HOW  A DOG HUGS A BABY...ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!        I thought  you might like to know about this dog and his history. The  ending is quite amazing after you read the  beginning...........         The  K9 above is Brutus, a military K9 at  McChord…He's huge - part Boxer and  part British Bull Mastiff and tops the scales at 200  lbs.   His handler  took the picture.  Brutus is running toward me because he  knows, I have some Milkbone treats, so he's slobbering  away!   I had to duck  around a tree just before he got to me in case he couldn't stop,  but he did.  Brutus was the recipient of the  Congressional Medal of Honor last year from his tour  in Iraq .. His handler and four other soldiers were  taken hostage by insurgents.   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.   He came back  later and quietly tore the throat out of one guard at one door and  another guard at another door.   He then jumped  against one of the doors repeatedly (the guys were being held in  an old warehouse) until it opened.   He went in and  untied his handler, and they all escaped.  He's the first K9 to receive this  honor.   If he knows  you're ok, he's a big old lug and wants to sit in your  lap.   He enjoys the  company of cats.   K-9  Congressional Medal of Honor Winner thought you'd find this  interesting.  Talk about 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!  Instructions for properly hugging a  baby  (from a dog's point of  view): 1. First, uh, find a baby. 2.  Second, be sure that the object you  found was indeed a baby, by employing classic sniffing  techniques.   3.  Next, you will need to flatten the baby before actually beginning  the hugging process. 4. The 'paw slide' Simply slide 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   It will be a shame if you don't pass  this  on!
