An Air Force staff sergeant has been reunited with his best friend for the holidays — and they’ll now be together forever.
US Air Force Staff Sergeant Mike Alcala and his former military working dog, John, had been separated for over two years. As the 10-year-old German shepherd prepares for retirement, American Humane surprised the dog and his handler with a pre-holiday reunion in San Antonio, Texas.
During the three years that Alcala was John’s handler, the two formed a strong bond.
They were separated in September 2021 when Alcala was reassigned to another base.
“We worked together every day for the three years I was there, give or take a few days,” Alcala told Fox News Digital.
