During her time working as a cook in Europe, 29-year-old Army Sergeant Charity Webb had an uplifting experience with a stray dog that had been roaming around the army base. The dog had given birth to a litter of cute puppies, one of whom was particularly shy around the soldiers. However, Webb was able to connect with this timid puppy right away, and the two formed a special bond that only grew stronger. Webb was the only soldier who could hold the puppy without causing her any distress, and their mutual affection was apparent to anyone who saw them together.
Webb dedicated a significant amount of time to building a bond with a stray canine, making sure that the dog understood that the soldiers were there to support rather than harm her. However, there were a few individuals who aimed to hurt the pup, and as a result, Webb had to keep her away from dog catchers who had no qualms about euthanizing stray animals. During her deployment in Europe, Webb and the dog, whom she affectionately called Pup Pup, formed an inseparable friendship that could not be broken. As the end of her service approached, Webb became increasingly concerned about Pup Pup’s well-being in her absence and the likelihood of her being put down.
Not long ago, she came across Paws of War, an organization that is dedicated to reuniting soldiers with the furry friends they cared for during their deployments. Funding for this non-profit is entirely reliant on donations and it can take time before they have enough money to bring a dog back to the US, which usually costs around $7,000. After the NY Post published an article about Pup Pup, the organization was able to raise enough money not only to bring Pup Pup home but also to rescue another pup!
After being apart for several months, Webb and Pup Pup were finally reunited in a heartwarming moment that left them both deeply moved.
As the van halted, Pup Pup enthusiastically hopped out and started to roll onto her back while wagging her tail in exhilaration when she saw her new permanent mother.
Take a look at their heartwarming reunion that was captured in the video supplied.
