Lucca is now the first Marine Corps dog to receive the esteemed honor. This is what her former handler had to say about his brave dog: ‘Lucca is very intelligent, loyal and had an amazing drive for work as a search dog.”
“‘In addition to her incredible detection capabilities, Lucca was instrumental in increasing moral for the troops we supported. In between missions, I took the searching harness off and let her play and interact with the troops.”
