OMAHA, Neb. – Roughly fifty came to fill a line to honor 14-year-old military dog Paco. Three tours of duty, a shrapnel injury that earned him a Purple Heart, PTSD, and other injuries had taken a toll. His family, starting with best friend and handler for 8 years in Afghanistan, Staff Sgt. Brad Mrsny, made the decision to put him to rest.
More than a dog, Sgt. 1st Class Paco was many things to the many who came to say goodbye.
Fellow veterans, Omaha and La Vista K-9 patrols, family, friends, and even strangers touched by stories of his service lined the sidewalk at Harvey Oaks Animal Hospital Monday.
