Retired Military Dog Reunites with Handler for Thanksgiving
TL;DR Summary
US Army Staff Sgt. Payton May and his former K-9 partner, Yyacob, have been reunited after years apart. The pair first bonded during a deployment in Iraq, but were separated when May was reassigned to Texas. Yyacob, who developed separation anxiety, was unable to work with another handler and was eventually retired. Thanks to American Humane, Yyacob was transported to San Antonio to live with May, who is now an instructor. The reunion was timely, as May had recently lost another dog, Towzer. American Humane will cover Yyacob's veterinary care for life.
