1. Soldier reunited with puppy he saved from Syria

Army Spc. Tyler Mosley and Daisy had an instant connection, and he knew their story wouldn't end in Syria. Mosley and the German shepherd puppy met in January while Mosley was serving a five-month deployment. A technician brought Daisy to the Army compound after she was found abandoned on the side of a road. Daisy and Mosley quickly bonded, and when it came time for Mosley to return to the U.S., he made a plan to get Daisy out of Syria. He contacted the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals International, and after he filled out forms and paid a small fee, Daisy started her trek to the U.S. Following stops in Iraq, Germany, and New York City, she arrived in Florida last month, with a tearful Mosley greeting her at the airport. "I just knew that I would do whatever it takes to get her home," Mosley said.
