When the 845 Naval Air Squadron with the Royal Navy buckled down for a storm while stationed in Montenegro, they had no idea that the storm would change their lives forever — in the best sort of way.
During the onslaught, a stray pup took shelter with the squadron and crawled her way into their hearts.
Even after the storm passed, the little dog took a shine to the crew, following them around and watching as they replaced the engine on a Merlin helicopter. They named her KT.
It was clear she was a bold puppy, and the roar of planes and helicopters didn’t seem to bother her in the least. When the squadron was ready to move on, they had a dilemma on their hands: They really wanted to bring the stray home, but that required time, effort, paperwork and money.

“Before leaving Montenegro a few of us got in touch with a local charity and also liaised with a few of the Montenegro Air Force (MAF) pilots about getting her back to the U.K. and giving her a proper home,” Petty Officer ‘Frank’ Stapleton said, according to the Royal Navy.
“As she wasn’t scared of noisy aircraft, having spent her short life so far on an airfield which happened to be the home of the MAF and the international airport for Montenegro, we feel she’ll be right at home on 845 NAS.”
