Nubbs is a war-dog in Iraq who was taken in by a Marine. The Marine loved the dog, and because the dog's ears had been cut off, he named him "Nubbs." Nubbs loved his master more and more each day.
The Marine found out that Nubbs's ears had purposely been cut off by an Iraqi to make him able to endure the harshness of war. The dog had run away from his master. This enraged the Marine. He kept Nubbs as a pet, and did not whatsoever return him to the Iraqi.
The Marine went off to fight 70 miles away from where Nubbs was staying. One day, Nubbs got away and ran across 70 miles of desert to reach his master. The two were again reunited quite soon.
The love in the abused dog drove him over that scorching desert; he had perhaps never known such love before. It is another Homeward Bound story, only this really happened and there really is a dog named Nubbs.
Nubbs is now staying in a safe place while the Marine goes on to fight. Someday, maybe, they will be reunited again--but this time forever. I'm sure Nubbs anticipates that day.
