Side by side for 5 years, Sergeant Jason Bos and his K9 partner, Cila, fought in Iraq. The pair went on over 100 missions together. When Bos retired in 2012 because of a back injury, he went home to the U.S – without his partner. Two years passed and Bos never stopped thinking about his beautiful chocolate lab.

When Cila retired, the American Humane Association and Mission K9 Rescue teamed up to fly Cila to Chicago so she could be reunited with Bos. At O’Hare International Airport, the two met again after being separated for so long. It takes about a half of a second for Cila to recognize Bos!

Take a look at this video!

When asked what the future looks for Cila, Bos admitted that he is going to put her to work, as a couch potato! After all the work she did for our country, that sounds like a good job for her! Share away, people!
