Once desperate for help and someone to care, sweet girl Pancake suffered horribly overseas, but now, she is safe and after many months apart, she has made it back into the arms of her brave Dad, U.S. Army Sergeant Brian. But it&#8217;s a happy ending that almost didn&#8217;t happen.<\/p>\n<p>Sergeant Brian found Pancake crying at the gate into his base overseas, and immediately knew that she needed help&#8211;she was covered in fleas, her coat was filthy, severely dehydrated and hungry, but too scared to approach. Encouraging her with treats, Sergeant Brian slowly earned her trust, and took on the role of caring for her. He didn&#8217;t expect that he&#8217;d fall in love, but very soon she became a virtual part of his family though from a distance, sharing the sweet dog with his wife and young kids back home which helped him stay connected with them far away.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-557\" src=\"https:\/\/njpetblog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Pancake-300x170.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"170\" srcset=\"https:\/\/njpetblog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Pancake-300x170.png 300w, https:\/\/njpetblog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Pancake-768x436.png 768w, https:\/\/njpetblog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Pancake.png 824w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>But Sgt. Brian was forced into saying a heartbreaking goodbye when his deployment ended, and, unable to get Pancake to safety himself, had to leave her behind &#8211; breaking his heart and not knowing if he&#8217;d ever see her again. So he reached out to Paws of War with a desperate plea for help &#8211; counting on them to get her out of harm&#8217;s way. They came through! And now, Pancake is officially a member of Sergeant Brian&#8217;s family, and she&#8217;s joined a happy home with his wife, their two adorable children, and her new dog sibling.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/donate\/?hosted_button_id=V2L5XA8XFN8JQ\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>CLICK HERE to support Paws of War\u2019s mission to save homeless, helpless animals overseas, and reunite them with America\u2019s Finest!<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Paws of War made a very joyful Stateside reunion possible, thanks to compassionate support for its life-saving rescue missions.
