A military canine who served overseas in Japan reunited with his handler in Charlestown on Friday.
Ramos met with his handler Brendan Cabey, a Marine Corps veteran, at the historic Navy Yard. The reunion was made possible by the American Humane Society.
Cabey was able to adopt his former battle buddy who is retiring with the help of the Society. He spent 2 years as Ramos’s handler and six months as his primary trainer.
“Just to have somebody who was there to come back, it hits home,” Cabey said.
Adoptions can be difficult amid the coronavirus pandemic. The Society pulled it off and was able to do so on the 19th anniversary of September 11th.
