Presentation of Beau (formerly Quaid) to Sgt. Brandon Tennery by Rebuilding Warriors.
Quaid came to Rebuilding Warriors courtesy of German Shepherd Rescue of Orange County. Here is his profile:

Is there a story to go with those great pictures?
It would help if any context were given to go along with these pics; otherwise, this thread is reasonably pointless. Pretty dog though.
Sgt. Tennery served 6 years in the US Army. He suffered a brain injury along with many other hardships, serving the American people.
His brother and friend drove him from Colorado to get his service dog. Brandon is from TX, now living in CO, but really loving southern CA.
Sorry, I should have put more content to the photos.
See comment 4 about the sergeant.
Here is their link about rebuilding warriors: http://www.rebuildingwarriors.com/dogs-for-wounded-warriors.html
Thanks, that and your post #4, helped a lot. Great program for wounded warriors.
What a gorgeous boy.
The pictures told the story, thank you so much for posting this, it brought tears to my eyes.
Please follow up, or maybe caption some of the pictures. I’d like to understand what’s going on and who’s who.
This is a low-volume list………so don’t worry!
(Please Freep-mail me if you’d like to be on or off the list.)
Thank you to the GSD rescue in Orange County. You are doing great work.
From GSROC news:
GSROC HELPS WOUNDED WARRIOR START FRESH
In a FIRST for GSROC, we have helped to match a wonderful working dog named Beau, with a wonderful former Army Sergeant who sustained combat injuries while serving our country. On Saturday, October 12, Sgt. Brandon Tennery met Beau for the first time and the two bonded instantly. Beau will help provide Brandon with the support and companionship that he needs to manage PTSD and other conditions related to his injuries. Beau and Brandon were the first of what we hope will be many similar match ups that we will make in conjunction with the wonderful group Rebuilding Warriors. Beau and Brandon are off to start their new adventures together. Whatever they encounter in the future, they will be side-by-side. Thank you to all of the volunteers who made this amazing mission possible!
