HBO Documentary ABout War Dogs

Tonight I was watching a documentary about war dogs. It was very sad but the saddest part was the piece about this soldier named Dixon. He had been partnered with a dog named Mika until he was injured. She was then rehomed as a K-9 for the Desoto County SHeriff's Department in Mississippi where she was partnened with Deputy Leslie and was a member of his family for many years until her death in 2017. Apparently Dixon had been searching for her and found her on a website about a police dog competition. He called the Desoto County SD and the handler was quite willing to send photos of Mika but apparently Dixon started badgering the Leslie family and demanding the dog be returned to him until finally they cut off communication with him. Dixon should have just let it go after finding out the dog was doing well with her family but instead he gave no thought at all to her feelings and wanted to uproot her after she had been with Deputy Leslie and his family for a lot longer than she was with Dixon!!! He acted rather petulant and selfish. I have been reading the comments on Facebook, YouTube and Twitter about this and those people who are commenting have NO clue what they are talking about and NO clue about working dogs!!! They are all castigating Deputy Leslie and his family and calling them ugly names. In my view, they Leslies were very nice to Dixon until they had finally had enough of his pestering and had to cut him off!!! Dixon should have just kept Mika in his heart and moved on with his life as much as it hurt!!!
