A feel-good story

Family Adopts Slain Marine's Dog Partner

Lex, a German Shepherd, was injured in the same mortar attack that took the life of his handler, Dustin Lee. Now Lee's family has been granted a first-time waiver to allow them to adopt the 8-year-old dog, releasing him from service two years ahead of schedule.

It can't bring their son and brother back, but I think it helps them deal with their grief to know his companion is with them.
