U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Payton May was separated from Belgian Malinois dog Yyacob when May was stationed in San Antonio. This week, they reunited.
A San Antonio soldier and his beloved military dog were reunited this week after over two years apart. U.S. Army Staff Sgt . Payton May , now 26, was 'heartbroken' to learn he'd have to leave his canine partner behind when he was reassigned to Joint Base San Antonio - Lackland in 2022, according to a release from American Humane .
drastic weather pattern shift is coming to Texas. Here's when temps start dropping. May and his military working dog, a Belgian Malinois named Yyacob, had formed strong bond over the two years they served together. The explosives-detection dog and his handler were so close that they shared a twin-sized bed throughout a 9-month deployment to Iraq. After May moved to San Antonio, Yyacob developed separation anxiety.
How Texas' solar energy boom victimized thousands of homeowners May constantly reached out to the base in hopes that Yyacob would be retired and the two could be together again. This fall, 8-year-old Yyacob was finally retired after nearly seven years of service. The serviceman immediately made plans to adopt Yyacob, with the help of American Humane. The animal welfare nonprofit picked up Yyacob from New York and got the dog his own seat on a flight to San Antonio, with no cost to May.
