Working Together
During the program, Nick has instructed time and time again not to work on any deep attachments with the canines that he was going to work with, but of course, even from their first meeting, it was clear that Mally adored Nick.
The two were deployed to Garmsir, Afghanistan, where they worked together for a year, with Mally sniffing the ground for improvised explosive devices (IEDs). A dangerous job but one which saved countless lives.
New Location
During this time, Nick struggled with homesickness and the cruel reality of war. The marine credits that if it hadn’t been for Mally, he might not have made it through this challenging time.
Thankfully, Nick and Mally survived their tour in Afghanistan, and the duo, with their bond, strengthened even more, were assigned to return to the United States. Nick was beyond grateful that he and his canine partner went to a new location together.
