Two military service members -- U.S. Marine Corps Sgt. Isaac Weissend and Marine Corps veteran Dalton Stone -- have been reunited with the dogs they handled in service overseas. Weissend and Stone first connected while serving in Japan with one another as military dog, or K-9, handlers. They built a strong bond with each other and became best friends. They also created strong connections with their respective German shepherd counterparts, 6-year-old male Poker and 6-year-old female Aida. Poker and Weissend even protected President Joe Biden during a special mission in Korea, where they swept flights, hotels, vehicles, and buildings for explosives. "Every day with Poker was a great day," Weissend said, according to American Humane, an animal-welfare organization that helped reunite the men with their K-9s.
