A devoted dog guards an exhausted soldier at the airport.

The bonds between soldiers and their combat partners are unbreakable. Nothing can sever these friendships because they were created through love and trust and put to the test through adversity. And the moment seen below demonstrates how accurate this is…

At the Indianapolis airport, photographers just so happened to be at the right spot at the right moment to see a troop of soldiers travelling by. Before continuing on, the 10 troops and the two canines had some free time, and many of them chose to take quick naps.

And one particularly exhausted soldier’s battle buddy took it upon himself to guard and protect her during her sleep by lying directly on top and keeping a lookout. It’s so deeply rooted in these dogs to serve their humans at any and all costs, and it really shows here in a normal, daily application. How lovely!
