SAVED BY HIS DOG IN LIFE AFTER SERVICE, A VET SAYS GOODBYE
MILITARY

Hank wore a pink bandana, matching Sarah Cole’s dress. As a camera snapped, William Cole leaned over to pet Hank. All three of them smiled. It was a big day for the young couple, William and Sarah, a gender reveal party with friends to announce that Sarah is expecting a baby girl in October.
Hence Hank’s bandana.
But for William Cole, the day was a bittersweet milepost on a long road from his time as an Army Ranger, an infantryman with C Company, 3rd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment. He was just happy Hank, a black Labrador retriever, was there to share it.
“Everything about my life [after the Army] was a nightmare, but — I looked back on it — the one constant was Hank,” Cole said, audibly emotional. “He was the one thing.”
