Lex L479 is the kind of dog I’d want at my side in a war situation. This Belgian Malinois is as smart as they come, loving, protective, experienced and super loyal. Every night on a long mission last year in Afghanistan, he would sneak out of the tarp-covered foxhole he shared with his handler, Marine Sgt. Mark Vierig, and stand guard over him through the night -- often in torrential rains.
