ATLANTA -- Sgt. Christopher Duke and wife Lauren Duke greeted Rufus at PetAirways Thursday.

Rufus and two other dogs saved Duke's and other soldiers' lives while serving in Afghanistan when on the evening of Feb. 11, 2010, the dogs attacked a suicide bomber trying to enter their barracks, forcing the bomber to detonate his explosives in the entry corridor.
Five soldiers sustained injuries but no one died that night thanks to the life-saving actions of the dogs.
Yes indeed and I wonder why my comment pertaining to the same subject and those wonderful dogs was 'removed' - for what?
It would be nice to know why. I think it is such a heartwarming story and a pity that not more people pay situations like this any mind. Let it be war and terror and killings - and drugs - they can't get enough of that.
Care to remove this comment too??
Please recognize the mistake in this article. You cannot write "no one died" and then write "Sasha was killed in the attack". Sasha was a hero so please acknowledge that someone did in fact die.
See proof in point that not just humans can be hero's. Buy those dogs a nice juicy ribeye!
we need more good news stories like this
THANK YOU Petairways for transporting the "heroes"
