It's this photo that grabbed my eye this morning. Stop for a minute and think about this moment. The caption for this photo submitted to the Dogs are family Facebook page said this:

"Many people remember a fallen soldier as a person in uniform. Sometimes that soldier is the four legged friend who saved your life by being a bomb-sniffing dog and finding the IED and warns you about it before it explodes. This is a sad but beautiful picture of pure respect for 2 fallen heroes."

I found several other amazing dog photos on this site that I've collected here for you.  These are NOT cute puppy photos, these are dogs that made all the difference in the world to these people. If you'd like to see more photos and see the stories that go with the photos check out the Dogs are family Facebook page.
