Soldier and his new friend

The caption alongside the video writes, “A soldier made a friend while deployed in the desert and brought him home. This dog couldn’t be happier.” The video starts with the information of how the soldier was posted at a desert area for duty and came across the dog that he named Sampson. The video shows the soldier and Sampson spending time together. According to the texts written on video, the soldier was deployed in the desert in January 2020. The dog would every day find him while he was returning home from work. He knew that they had bonded well so he tried to find a way to take it home to America. The soldier with the help of some good samaritans then brought Sampson to his home. It took him a 15-hour long flight and 14-hour drive to get Sampson to his home in America. The video ends with a soldier saying that bringing Sampson to America has been his biggest accomplishment in life.
