K-9 Congressional Medal of Honor Winner BRUTUSI've failed over and over and over again in my life
and that is why I succeed.
Michael Jordan
Formula for success: rise early, work hard, strike oil.
J. Paul Getty
Most people give up just when they're about to achieve success.
They quit on the one yard line.
They give up at the last minute of the game
one foot from a winning touchdown.
Ross Perot
A successful man is one who can lay a firm foundation
with the bricks others have thrown at him.
David Brinkley
Success is getting what you want.

K-9 Congressional Medal of Honor Winner
The K9 above is Brutus, a military K9 at McChord AFB..
He's huge - part Boxer and part British Bull Mastiff and tops the scales at 200 lbs.
His handler took the picture. Brutus is running toward me because he knows
I have some Milk Bone treats, so he's slobbering away!
I had to duck around a tree just before he got to me in case he couldn't stop,
but he did.
Brutus won the Congressional Medal of Honor last year from his tour in Iraq .
His handler and four other soldiers were taken hostage by insurgents.
Brutus and his handler communicate by sign language and he gave Brutus the signal
that meant 'go away but come back and find me'.
The Iraqis paid no attention to Brutus..
He came back later and quietly tore the throat out of one guard at one door
and another guard at another door.
He then jumped against one of the doors repeatedly
(the guys were being held in an old warehouse) until it opened.
He went in and untied his handler and they all escaped.
He's the first K9 to receive this honor.
If he knows you're ok, he's a big old lug and wants to sit in your lap.
Enjoys the company of cats..
