U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Trey Nelson, a 30th
Security Forces Squadron military dog handler, and
his military working dog Axel, repel from a
helicopter during the annual Fritzlar International K9
seminar at Fritzlar German Army Base, Germany,
July 11, 2023. Axel retired from service as a military
working dog, July 25, 2025, from the 52nd Security
Forces Squadron, at Spangdalhm Air Base,
Germany, and was adopted by Nelson, who was his
seventh handler. Retirement for military working
dogs is a transition from a life of discipline to one of
relaxation and companionship. In their handler’s
home, they enjoy leisurely walks, playtime, and
affection, while receiving tailored care to meet their
aging needs. (Courtesy photo)
