Here is another story from military.com that offers a few more details about Nubs. http://www.military.com/NewsContent/0,13319,162322,00.html?wh=news
It appears there has been so much interest in this story that there is sure to be a follow up of the reunion in late March when Major Dennis is due to return to the States. In the meantime, I will keep watching my page on diffbot.com and do a follow up post when something new pops up.

Hello fellow dog lovers, my name is Heather and I am part of the Bring NUBS to America clan. NUBS is in great hands now, Brian has made sure of that. There is a certified trainer set up to help NUBS transition to his King of the Beach status and a backbone of amazing NUBS and Brain supporters that are going to make sure NUBS is taken care of until the two can be reunited. I am sure you will see follow up once the two are together again as the media is hounding for follow up stories.

I did want to let everyone know as I am combing the net that Brian is NOT raising anymore money for NUBS so please do not listen to anyone who says they are collecting for the cause. They are scammers and in my mind are bad people trying to take advantage of a nice story. Brian really appreciates all the offers but he has told us all that NUBS is his dog and his responsibility and will take care of the rest of the financial needs for NUBS. I can not put words in Brian’s mouth but if you still feel the need to donate I am sure your local Humane Society or Animal Prevention Organization would appreciate any donations made in honor of NUBS. Otherwise your good thoughts sent to the two soul mates is enough I am sure.

Missus T, I will have to set up a search for it in my diffbot. (diffbot.com) to see if I can somehow follow up on anything new. I too would like to ensure a happy ending.

Gledwood,
Shambala is a Sanskrit term meaning place of peace, tranquility and happiness. In Tibetan Buddhist tradition is known as a mythical kingdom hidden somewhere in the Himalayas. I got it from the 3 Dog Night Song Shambala

Does shambala mean anything more specific than just “place of peace”~?

Just wondering because I’ve come across the expression so very many times!

Lovely blog you got here btw… take care and have a great weekend

That made me cry buckets too … I despise any form of cruelty to animals and to read that poor Nubs found comfort with that poor soldier was just such a moving tale. I’m now worried that they may not end up together after the soldier goes home … wonder if there is any way we can keep up with the story ? Another feel-good story to come out of an otherwise hellish place - thanks Indigo Daisy for telling this tale…
