Imagine the level of confidence and reliability in the most worrisome difficulties, the most difficult moments of your life, when you are not sure every day whether you will survive or not. Well, that’s the kind of situation Sergeant Jason Boss had with his MWD partner Cila M389 – or Cici – a K9-trained military dog who worked alongside him for five years in Iraq.
Finally, in 2012, Sergeant Jason Boss retired when he suffered a back injury that brought him back to the United States, reports WOOD TV8. But the beautiful Chocolate Labrador was still in service, and it would also be years before you retired.
Sergeant Boss did not know if he would see Sheila again, or what events would transpire while she was still on duty and performing a dangerous duty to her country.
After two long years, Sergeant Boss has come a long way to recover from his back injury, but his heart never fully recovered from the loss of his best friend. And as fate would have it, he finally learned that Cila, the K9 military dog, would finally be retiring after his long years of service.
Working with the Humane Society of America and Mission Canine Rescue, the K9 military vet was airlifted from Germany to Chicago, where Sergeant Jason Boss was waiting.
The moment Sheila hears his voice, her attention is completely captured and she cannot forget the voice of the man she spent over five years with as a constant partner and protector.
When Jason Boss was asked about their future, he told the Chicago Tribune, “Her whole life has been about work. Now is the time for her to worry about relaxing.”
