The heart-melting journey that brought a soldier from Essex and an abandoned dog from Syria together finally came to its culmination on Saturday, November 3, when they reunited at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris, France.
Sean Laidlaw, 30, was stationed in Syria in February 2018 as a private contractor leading a bomb disposal team when he found whimpering Barrie surrounded by rubble after a building had exploded around her.
Sean and his 'man's best friend' have gone through five countries, two war zones, 3,000 miles and a 12-hour drive to be together in what he says is his ‘happiest moment ever’.
