Rescued dog from Afghanistan arrives at Sea-Tac

(From right) Specialist David LeForge, with the 5-2 Stryker Brigade, Lena Bourrillion and daughter Marissa greet Oso in her carrier. Bourrillion's husband, Phillip, who serves with LeForge in Afghanistan, found Oso when she was five-weeks old in a trash burn pit. The men within Stryker Brigade bonded with the animal, and before moving bases, they arranged for her to be shipped home.
