U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Janessa Pon/Released 161024-M-TA471-010.JPG

Retired military working dog Patti poses for a photo before her award ceremony Oct. 24 on Marine Corps Air Station Futenma, Okinawa, Japan. Patti received an award from the U.S. War Dogs Association for her service in 2007 during Operation Iraqi Freedom. During her time overseas, Patti served as a combat tracking dog, and while bravely serving alongside the deployed troops, suffered injuries in the line of duty. Patti’s handler, James Altman, who was at the time, a Marine staff sergeant, stayed by Patti’s side through more than six months of rehabilitation before retiring her and adopting her into his own home. Today, Patti still resides with Altman, a Sebring, Florida, native, who serves as the installation chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear defense officer on Marine Corps Air Station Futenma.
