A military couple, Justin and Izzy Barnett, has finally reunited with Maple, a puppy they rescued while deployed in Kuwait. The couple formed a strong bond with her while serving overseas.

After a military base came under attack and Izzy was injured, they were forced to evacuate, leaving Maple behind. Determined to bring her home, the couple turned to Paws of War, a nonprofit that coordinated a challenging international journey to reunite them.
