Love really is blind!
Video has captured the touching moment a former IED detection dog and his Marine Corps handler reunited after six years apart.
David Herrera, 29, of Oceanside, California, hadn't seen Kash N060 since their deployment to Afghanistan.
The nine-year-old dog, who is now blind, recognized his former partner by scent and is seen jumping around, running through Herrera's legs, and wagging his tail in joy.
Herrera told DailyMail.com: 'It was very heart felt moment. I never thought I would see him again.'
Herrera said he heard from an old friend that Kash was in retirement, and had been adopted by a handler in Texas.
During a trip to visit his family in Texas this month, Herrera said he wanted to reach out to reunite with
Kash.
'He came up to me and started rubbing his head against me,' Herrera said. 'At first, he was looked a little hesitant, but it made sense.
'He was trying to smell who was there, and once he knew it was me, he was so excited. I didn't even know he was blind until afterwards.
'I'm just glad I got to see him again after so long.'

Awww, that story is very heart wrenching. I wonder if the dog was blinded in the line of duty? It's great that a handler adopted him.
