He Made Friends With Three Stray Dogs. Then A Bomb Went Off And They Astounded Him

While Sgt. Chris Duke was serving in Afghanistan, a suicide bomber tried to attack his base which had more than a few dozen sleeping soldiers.

Fortunately his life was saved thanks to three unlikely friends. They were stray dogs named Sacha, Rufus and Target. Duke had befriended the dogs while out in Afghanistan to keep him company and remind him of home, since he loved dogs. A suicide bomber crept into the camp while he and the rest of the barracks were fast asleep, with the intent of killing EVERYONE that was inside.

The dogs made quite the racket, barking and biting at the suicide bomber and were successful in keeping him away from the sleeping unsuspecting soldiers. His bomb was set off before he could kill any of the soldiers. Unfortunately, there was a sad note to this heroic success story. Sacha, was injured so badly that she had to be put down. Fortunately the other two dogs, Rufus and Target were able to survive the attack.

Following his return home after his tour was complete, Duke was concerned about the welfare of the dogs. He raised awareness, creating a Facebook page and gathering help from friends to help fund bringing the two dogs over to safety.

The rest of the story is truly heart warming.
