“When a family member is deployed” you can find information on how to help children cope, resources for spouses and other (2) legged family members but how do we explain to Ahab that although his dad loves him very much he could not take him along this time? For (9) years of Ahab’s 10 years dad and he were best friends. Ahab was his loyal companion, sharing every part of dad’s life…but now dad is off serving his country, and try as hard as he might to be a good “soldier” and as proud as he is of dad, Ahab can’t help but long to be back in a home and a part of a family. No longer a youngster, Ahab knows he might not attract as much interest as some of the younger dogs, but he’s hoping someone will recognize what he sacrificed so dad could serve.

Whether you are a military family, a retired veteran or just a civilian wanting to honor our troops, please consider opening your heart and home to Ahab...
