Slobbery, tail-wagging reunion

Ray Behrens, his wife, Kaci, and son, Danyole, 2, meet Bullet, left, and Trigger, right, the two beagles given up by Behrens six years ago when he went into the military.

A reunion between a former soldier and his two long-lost friends – beagles named Bullet and Trigger – was not short on slobbery kisses, wagging tails and treats Thursday. Since they parted in 2004, Raymond Behrens, 24, served as a Navy Seabee in Japan, Iraq and twice in Afghanistan. When he enlisted, he begrudgingly gave up the two dogs, which he got when he was 16. Six years later, he has his dogs back. Chelsea Bannach/SR

Great story. Do you have a pet you’d like to be reunited with?
