Eli is the bomb-sniffing military working dog assigned to Marine Pfc. Colton Rusk, who was killed in action Dec. 5, 2010, by Taliban sniper fire. Eli loyally stayed by his handler's side after death guarding Rusk's body and even biting at Marine's trying to move their fallen comrade. Eli has been granted discharge and adoption by the Department of Defense and will retire to the Rusk's family home in Orange Grove, Texas. (U.S. Air Force photo/Tech. Sgt. Bennie J. Davis III)
