A 10-year-old girl who had wanted her own dog for years could not believe her eyes when her family surprised her with a retired U.S. bomb dog who had served in the Middle East. The Spillane family, from Yardley, Pennsylvania, thought five-year-old cocker spaniel Finn would be the perfect companion for their daughter, Grace. Finn served as a bomb dog in the United Arab Emirates for several years, where he spent his days protecting airports, seaports, and the U.S. embassy, according to Patriot K9 Rescue, who helped the Spillanes with their adoption.
