When Army platoon commander Kristen St. Pierre returned from her tour of duty in Afghanistan in 2019, she left behind one of her best pals on base: Chase, a bomb-sniffing dog who’d become her constant companion.
Even after returning stateside, Chase was never far from her mind. She kept in touch with Chase’s new handler and enjoyed photos and updates.
“I heard Chase and other dogs would be on flights to the U.S. and Europe,” St. Pierre told CBS News. “The next I heard the dogs weren’t allowed on the planes and they were released from the airport with little chance of survival.” St. Pierre started checking KSAR’s social media accounts in hopes of seeing Chase. Eventually, St. Pierre glimpsed a photo of Chase on one of KSAR’s accounts.
