Memorial Day reunites Fort Carson solider, retired military dog

After more than a month apart, U.S. Army Specialist Kameron Markert was finally reunited with his bomb-sniffing dog, Attila, on Memorial Day. The two had been separated due to unfinished paperwork that prevented Attila from leaving Virginia for Colorado with his handler in March.

Markert had fought for Attila to be medically retired after the dog was diagnosed with hip dysplasia, renal disease, kidney disease, and had a cancerous tumor removed from his leg. The pair had worked together in the field for over three years and had formed a strong bond.

Markert’s transfer to Fort Carson in Colorado Springs was delayed due to missing veterinary signatures on Attila’s paperwork. However, in early May, Markert received the news that Attila’s paperwork was complete, and the dog was ready to be adopted. The American Humane Society stepped in to help transport Attila to Colorado.

April Smith, an animal handler for the American Humane Society’s Military Working Dog Reunification program, facilitated Attila’s journey from Virginia to Colorado. Smith picked up Attila from a military base in Virginia, allowed him to decompress in an Airbnb, and accompanied him on a cross-country flight to reunite with Markert.

Upon reuniting, Markert, his family, and Attila spent time together in Arvada before heading home to Colorado Springs. Attila quickly adjusted to his new environment and bonded with the Markert family, including Markert’s wife and children. The family welcomed Attila as one of their own, and he seamlessly integrated into their household.

Not only did the American Humane Society cover the cost of Attila’s trip, but they also agreed to cover the cost of his future veterinary care. Attila is now officially retired and enjoying life with his loving family in Colorado.
