After spending so much time on the streets, Griffon, a 6-month-old stray dog, had lost hope of ever finding a home. However, luck seemed to be on his side when he was rescued by a kind-hearted U.S. Naval Commander at a foreign naval base. The Commander, who recognized that Griffon would not survive long in such a dangerous environment, scooped him up into his arms based on his unit’s motto, “Those who arrive alive, leave alive”. This unexpected rescue brought unadulterated love to Griffon’s life, as everyone on the base became interested in meeting him after hearing about his story.
