Winsler and her military dog, Bella, have been together "since day one," she said. "I got to train with Bella for six weeks, certify her, bring her to the fleet and stay on her. I am her first handler and she's my first dog. I have to rely on her for my life and she has to rely on me for everything else." Sgt. Matthew Callahan/US Marine Corps
