A Life of Service
Staff Sgt. Cody Nickell, 374th Security Forces Squadron military working dog handler, shares a moment with his teammate Topa, prior to the commencement of Topa’s retirement ceremony at Yokota Air Base, Japan, Oct. 17, 2019. With Topa beginning his career as a MWD in 2012, he has defended Yokota alongside his handlers for seven years before being forced to medically retire. After a life of service, Topa has been adopted by his handler, Nickell and his family, to live out the rest of his days in peace. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Matthew Gilmore)
