Two sides to every tail

Staff Sgt. Bryan Tarantella, 8th Security Forces Squadron military working dog handler, puts Stella, 8th SFS military working dog, into her kennel after a day of agility bite training and commands at Kunsan Air Base, Republic of Korea, Nov. 11, 2016. Due to Stella’s condition she can only train for short periods and needs time to recover. Tarantella has been a handler for 11 years and is getting ready to move to Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland where he will take Stella with him as he plans to adopt her. Stella has come to the end of her military service and will be retiring because of lumbosacral disease, which is the degeneration of the joints, spine and compression of the nerves causing lower back discomfort as well as leg pain.
