Puppy love: GAIN helps green beret reunite with his ‘children’

Army Special Forces veteran Michael Clements has repeatedly faced down death and danger during his eight tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan. But, even for this hardened warrior, there was one thing he couldn’t face – saying goodbye to Jelly Beans and Neighbor.

“It was pretty funny, a badass green beret, all broken up leaving his dogs,” says Clements.

Leaving Guam to retire after 23 years in the service, Clements couldn’t afford to take his beloved dogs with him to his North Carolina home. He was in the middle of a divorce, and headed first to Hawaii for a month of medical treatment for spinal injuries sustained during his service. With no other options, he brought the dogs to Guam Animals In Need (GAIN), which provides shelter for abandoned and homeless dogs.

“I was stuck. I didn’t know what to do,” says Clements, who had brought Neighbor, a Husky, and Jelly Beans, a four-year-old Akita mix, from Fort Bragg for his one-year stay on Guam.

“They’re my children,” says Clements, who says the dogs had the run of his house, jumping up to sit on his lap and sleeping on the bed. “I don’t have kids. They were like the kids of my house.”

  1. Hello everyone out there, help me Thank Dr UGO! My name is MRS LINDA from Netherlands. I am here to give testimony on how I got my ex husband back, my husband left me for no reason 6 Months. He moved in with another woman, I felt like killing myself, my life became very bitter and sorrowful. Then 1 day, a friend of mine told me about a great spell caster that is very good and she said that he told her all about her life history and the problem she is facing, I didn't believe it because I've worked with so many of them and it didn't work. She begged me further so I decided to try this great spell caster called Great Dr UGO. I still didn't believe, but inside me I wanted to give a try and as God will have it, I used the spell solution he gave me and the next day I received a call from my darling husband Romero last month. He apologized and came back to me. I'm very happy now with my family it worked for me and I believe it will work for you too just give him a try and follow up this is a clear truth from a testifier. Thank you Dr UGO once again, if you want to reach him via email:(dr.ugo.temple@gmail.com)
