The first time I viewed the image of I. Martin and Rebel X820, I was emotionally shaken. It seems to capture the love bond and ultimate heartbreak that all of the doghandlers felt for their dogs. Cpl. I. (Israel or Isiaha?) Martin is every doghandler. I know that Rebel was killed in 1970 but Cpl. Martin's name is absent from all the lists of Marine doghandlers I have found to date. I hope he survived and came home.
