That empty pocket, Marine? For the pup.

WASHINGTON _ Because I just can't help myself. Because I'm a sucker for Marines and puppies.

Check out the cutest picture to come out of Helmand, Afghanistan. Persistence paid off for the lil’ guy. The puppy followed the 1/6 Marines for miles before hitching a ride. (Hat tip to @Starbuck_WOI)

The Marines, out of Camp Lejeune, N.C., are on their second tour in the area. Probably wasn’t any time for dogs their first time around – they fought in the Marjah offensive in early 2010 at the start of the big push into southern Afghanistan.
