Military Dog Torn Away From Beloved Soldier Only To Hear Him Shout Her Name 2 Yrs Later

Jan 21, 2019

When a man spends five years constantly beside his canine companion, it is a unique bond of mutual dependability and reliance. There are few more setting feelings than having your dog beside you, guarding, protecting, offering kindness and compassion.

Imagine that level of trust and reliability in the most disturbing of hardships, in the most brutally difficult times of your life, when every day you are not sure if you will be able to stay alive or not. Well, that is the kind of circumstance the Sergeant named Jason Bos spent with his partner Cila, a trained K9 military dog who worked by his side for five years in Iraq.

They went together on some 100 missions that included sniffing out and detecting roadside bombs, along with work for the secret service. 

Finally, in 2012 Sergeant Jason Bos took his retirement when he suffered a back injury that sent him heading back to the United States. But the gorgeous chocolate labrador was still on duty and it would be years before, she too retired. Sergeant Bos didn't know if he would ever see Cila again, or what events would transpire while she was still in service doing a dangerous duty for her country.

After two long years, Sergeant Bos had come to a long way to recover his back injury, but his heart had never quite healed from the loss of his best friend. As fate would have it, soon after he has come to learn that Cila, the K9 military dog was finally going to be retiring from her long years in service. 

Along with the American Humane Association and Mission Canine Rescue, the K9 military vet was flown from Germany all the way to Chicago, where Sergeant Jason Bos was there waiting for her.

The moment Cila hears his voice, her attention is completely captured, unable to forget herself the name she spent over five years with as a constant partner and protector. 

When asked about their future, Jason Bos responds that they are looking forward to working with veterans to help them cope with post-deployment and the struggles it poses. And Cila will be happily assuming her position as the family lounging dog at their home in Michigan in her retirement.
