Puppy Saved from Torture Reunited with His Rescuer
Posted by 
86 commentsStaff Sergeant Nick B. has served in the Army for 13 years.
To some, he appears to be a tough, imposing figure. But to Bodhi, an Afghan herding dog saved from a life of torment, Nick is a kind, caring savior.
Nick was on patrol in Afghanistan when he found Bodhi tied up and covered in mud. His ears and half of his tail had been cut off.
“They were going to use him to fight other dogs as entertainment. You could just tell he hadn’t been fed properly. He was really skinny and malnourished. When I saw that, it just broke my heart. I knew I had to get this dog out of here,” Nick said.
Nick reached out to Puppy Rescue Mission for assistance, and together they coordinated Bodhi’s trip. He was flown into Pensacola Saturday, and was visibly relieved to see the man who saved his life. Nick said the feeling was mutual.
“It’s so much better knowing I saved this dog from a life of eating scraps of trash and not knowing if he’s going to be shot,” Nick said. “I know his life will be so much better now. He’ll have a lot of land to run around on, a pool to play in, a loving family, and he’ll be fed properly and bathed. It’s an amazing feeling.”

Such awesome news! Welcome home Bodhi!!
That’s a good man!! As one American citizen I am very proud to have an individual such as he serving in our military!!
I’m just overflowing with gratitude for what Nick did for that sweet dog!!
Such a good man!
May this happen all over the world Lord…..please let prayer arise for the nation ofUkraine more than 60 000 dogs and cats have been killed because to “clean” the streets for EURO 2012. Please SHARE so everybody can see in what world we live today!
In Ukraine the president signed a contract. It was written there that the police men should hunt down the homeless dogs and burn them alive in a special oven that they made specially for burning homeless dogs and cats. This is inhumane!
AGAINST EURO 2012 & UEFA!
Where’s the LOVE button??
Yay!!!
Nicks a great guy with a big heart!
Wonderful story. Sometimes when you’ve helped rescues, it’s nice to be reminded that good, kind people are still out there
Good news!
Cool story! Loved it!
very pleased to hear this news today!
What sort of disgusting lowlife douchebag would cut a dog’s ears and tail off?
Good on you, SSGT Nick!
nice story!!
what a great story….way to go to all those soldiers out there who not only fight for our country…but also fight for those who cannot speak in the middle of a battlefield
awesome!
I would have loved for he newsreader to have said…
“Nick says the owners didn’t want to give him Bodhi….so he and his special forces unit went to work…..”

Bless his heart, and heaven help all the other poor pups who aren’t so lucky.
when can we torture people that torture animals?
What an amazing man- a hero in every sense of the word! Bless you.
I don’t know why we are helping those savages. Instead of dog fighting perhaps we should have Afghan fighting. Put two in a pit and have them fiight to the death. Do this until there is only one left, then shoot him. Get the dogs a home.
love love love love love love love love love love love love love this !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you Nick!!! So happy Bodhi has a loving home!
What a beautiful story ! There’s too much animal cruelty. This story ended very well. Thumbs up for Nick
Thank you – this is just the story I needed to start my week with a smile in my heart…bless you all.
What can we do to help with rehab for Bodhisattva?
Human$*( totally in$ane.???
Sorry. Auto correct took charge of Bodhi’s name.
God bless them all!
Es ist einfach grauenvoll, , was diesem armen Tier angetan wurde, diese Bestien müssen bestraft werden!!!
That man deserves a medal!!! A pawprint medal. That would be awesome. I am going to try and donate to that org this year.
