Info from Licensor: "I thought about Murphy every day I was at basic training and AIT. I think I missed him more than my family, because I knew he didn’t know if I was ever coming back. My best friend went to my house one day, found Murphy sleeping outside my room, and got one of his paw prints on a piece of paper to mail to me. It hung inside my locker by a band-aid for the rest of basic.
I had no idea Murphy would react the way he did when I finally got home! When he didn’t recognize me at first, I was so heartbroken. The happiest moment of my life was when he finally figured out it was me. He’s been the light of my life for over three years now, and I’m hoping to have many more with him by my side."
