Target The Hero
In another amazing dog story comes Target, a heroic stray dog from Afghanistan. When Sgt. Terry Young was stationed in Afghanistan in 2009, he came across a stray dog along with two others that the soldiers named Rufus and Sasha. The trio soon captured the hearts of the military men and women stationed at the base. In 2010, a suicide bomber managed to get on base and headed towards the barracks when the trio of strays attacked him, preventing him from getting any further. He detonated himself and Sasha was killed. Rufus and Target were both badly wounded and had to be treated for their wounds. Sgt. Young believes that without them, people would have definitely been injured or killed. Target was later adopted by Sgt. Young and was able to be brought home to the United States, Rufus was also adopted by one of his fellow service members. Dogs truly are man’s best friend!
