2:19Now PlayingAxel is a 3-year-old German shepherd who gets a lot of love.
As his owner, Jason Haag, puts it: "Axel's been the star of the show. I'm just the guy at the end of the leash."
As a Marine, Capt. Jason Haag did two tours in Iraq and one in Afghanistan. He was shot, exposed to improvised explosive device strikes and survived small-arms fire.
He was trained and ready for anything -- except coming home.
By the time he returned home, Haag was taking 32 different medicines and was "in a dark place."
Haag reached out to a non-profit called K9s for Warriors. It's a non-profit that provides service dogs to wounded warriors.
Axel was just a week away from being put down. Haag says Axel saved his life.
