This soldier stayed by his dog’s side till the last breath.

As members of the U.S. Air Force, Kyle Smith and his dog Bodza had experienced a great deal together; as a result, the man was there for his dying dog and remained by his side until the very end. The eleven-year-old German shepherd, Bodza, had been a bomb detecting dog. By searching for bombs in places like Kuwait, Kyrgyzstan, and Iraq, he saved countless lives. When the dog and Smith began working together in 2012, they hit it off right away. “As a young handler, he taught me patience and how to understand that this job isn’t just about you. I loved working with him,” the guy said in an interview with The Dodo. “He trailed me everywhere I went… and every night they wished me a nice night.

Then, in the summer of 2016, Bodza received a diagnosis of degenerative myelopathy, an illness affecting his incurable spinal cord. Smith decided to end Bodza’s misery after realizing he was in pain.

Smith remarked, “He was smiling as he was being put to sleep.” “As Bodza went by, I was holding him.” Smith had the backing of his nine coworkers. They let the man sob and cry. “He was the most selfless person I have ever met. Every day I miss him.
