Some pups are simply born under a lucky star. Despite being a stray, this little pooch never let that deter his destiny. Deep down, he knew he would find his perfect hooman.
The law of attraction is clear: pawsitive thoughts bring pawsitive results.
One day, with a courage and confidence that anyone would envy, this little guy strolled onto a naval base and…
… found a hooman to take care of him!
Griffon Decided He Didn’t Want the Life of a Stray

Griffin made a bold move—he walked onto a naval base and chose himself a hooman.
Learn from his example! This good boi decided the stray life wasn’t for him and sought a change. Born and raised on the streets, this 6-month-old pupper knew street life was too rough for his kind soul.
Enter the scene: one U.S. naval base overseas, one U.S. Naval Commander, and the rest of his companions at the base.
When the Commander saw Griffin approaching, he knew the pup was destined to wander inside their base. It’s not every day you see a dog entering a military facility.

“A U.S. Naval Commander saw the little dog and immediately recognized he wouldn’t survive long alone in such a dangerous environment. Scooping the pup up into his arms, he was reminded of his unit’s motto: ‘Those who arrive alive, leave alive,’ and he knew it had to apply to this little soul too,” reported Paws Of War, a non-profit organization, on their Facebook page.
When word spread that there was a puppy on the base, everyone went nuts. They all wanted to meet the little guy who had so much courage to enter the facility with so many big, mighty guys.

The army suits and big guns didn’t scare little Griffin. He won their hearts, knocked them out of their military boots, and made himself a tiny hero.
The Commander, who wished to remain anonymous, said he didn’t want to leave Griffin behind. Originally from Maryland, this brave soldier has a wife and kids who were beyond ecstatic to have a pup like Griffin.
Little Griffin became family.

And little Griffin made his wish come true: he got himself the hooman he deserved.
Thanks to support and donations to Paws of War, the non-profit organization that provides service dogs to veterans, Griffin was able to move from the base to Maryland, into his new family home.
He was reunited with his Commander, the first person he laid eyes on and the first hooman who understood how precious Griffin really is.
Today, Griffin serves and protects his family, just like his hooman daddy does.
