A Canine Hero named Gabe


Gabe has done 210 combat missions in Iraq. He is a decorated military hero. He is 10 years old, and he is a dog.

Gabe was a rescue dog, found in a shelter just one day before he was set to be put down. This lab mix was enlisted in the US Army, and trained to siff out weapons. He has spent most of his career in Iraq sniffing IEDs and saving the lives of soldiers.

Gabe has recently become a celebrity of sorts. He caught the attention of Betty White and Whoopi Goldberg, and has been on national television. Gabe is now retired. He spends his days as a house pet and is occasionally used to teach soldiers how to work with sniffing dogs.
