There are some genuine qualities that all dogs possess – faithfulness, compassion, and loyalty. And of course playfulness. It’s no wonder that most dogs become honorary members of each family they’re a part of. One unique thing that we’ve seen here at Just Military Loans is that some dogs actual serve in the with some of our military loan clients. These military working dogs (MWD’s) are heroes just like the men and women who serve alongside them.
We thought it would be interesting to find some amazing stories of some of these canines. Here are some that top our list:

Kevin, a dog who died of cancer, was a great patrol explosive detector dog who meant a lot to his handler of four years. And Staff Sgt. Robert Calhoun was very close to his MWD Rony, for very good reason – Rony had saved his life when they went into an abandoned compound and found a 155-round before Calhoun could step on the pressure plate. He is the reason they were able to come home.
