Sure, you could go easy and order some pizza and chill a few 12 packs, but that’s so 2011 and oh so boring.

Think outside the box and impress your friends. You can have your Super Bowl party catered with amazing food and drink for a very reasonable price and if you invite a few clients over the whole thing becomes a very fun tax write off.

In honor of the anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor. We would like to take this time to honor the members of our US armed services for the sacrifice and service to our country. With that in mind today we are sharing an uplifting and loving story about dedication and caring between a US soldier and a dog named Nub’s.

When Maj. Brian Dennis first spotted a scruffy German Shepard-Border collie mix at a fort in Iraq, the dog wasn’t interested in making friends. The dog, who lived in the wild with a pack of canine companions, had already been through a lifetime’s worth of pain and neglect. His ears had been cut off as a puppy, and he had been trained as a fighting dog. Now that he was finally free of his tormentors, the dog just wanted to be left alone.

But Dennis saw something special in the dog, which he nicknamed “Nubs,” because of his missing ears. It took some time, but eventually Dennis had the dog eating out of his hand. One day, when Nubs showed up one day with a deep wound in his side, Dennis nursed him back to health. Soon, Dennis and Nubs were inseparable.

Sadly, Dennis learned that his unit would be forced to relocate to a new base, and he wasn’t allowed to bring Nubs along. As he watched Nubs race alongside his Hummer as his unit drove away from the fort for the last time, he was sure that he would never see the dog again.

But two days later, a familiar face turned up at Dennis’ new base: Somehow, Nubs had managed to follow the Marine unit through the Iraqi desert on foot, all the way to their new base – 70 miles away

“I won’t even address the gauntlet he had to run of dog packs, wolves, and God knows what else to get here,” Dennis wrote. “When he arrived he looked like he’d just been through a war zone.”  “Uh, wait a minute, he had.”

Even though it was against military protocol, Dennis’ unit felt compelled to give the determined dog a home. They built a doghouse for Nubs, but were soon informed by the military police that Nubs would have to live elsewhere. So, Dennis decided to take Nubs home with him. The dog is currently in Jordan, and will soon be sent on a plane to San Diego, where he’ll be reunited with Dennis once again.

Dennis looks forward to taking Nubs to play on Dog Beach, feeding him gourmet dog food, and letting him bask in the sunlight, far away from the harsh Iraqi desert.

“He’s always been a big dog lover,” Dennis’ mother, Marsha Cargo, told ABC News. He’s supposed to be this big, tough Marine, but he’s really a softy.”

Shannon Event Productions encourages all of our friends and client’s to become involved in sending holiday wishes to our men and women in our military. We  wish you and yours a happy, healthy and peaceful holiday season.  

We look forward to another great year catering for our clients and friends company picnics. corporate holiday  parties and private events in 2012.

Cheers,

Shannon.
