After 8 years of dedicated service as a bomb detection dog, Nick received a hero's farewell at Fort Meade on Wednesday. The retirement ceremony drew dozens of military personnel who came to honor the working dog whose face has become familiar to thousands of government employees who see his photo when logging onto their computers daily. Nick isn't just a symbol or mascot for the military – he's a working military dog who has spent nearly a decade protecting the base and its personnel. His retirement marks the end of an impressive career in explosive detection. #militarydog #retirement #localnews #maryland #news
