SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — Three dogs are getting a second chance at life. Wednesday night they were reunited with a local Marine – after months of being apart.

Marine Corps Captain Kyle Watkins has been waiting months to see the dogs he rescued as puppies while stationed in Iraq.

Wendy, Hesco and Rooster were flown to the states to be adopted by Watkins and another Marine with the help of SPCA International and Operation Baghdad Pups.

Watkins says he couldn’t help but feed and care for the dogs, who in turn began to look out for him; their big brown eyes and wagging tails bringing comfort during some rough times.

Two of the dogs will stay with Watkins and his wife on their farm in Temecula, the third will be adopted by another Marine.
