Cena N641

Cena N641 typically referred to simply as Cena was a black Labrador retriever bomb detection dog in the US Marine Corps. He served three tours of duty in Afghanistan.

After retirement of the dog with a hip injury, Cena was four years later reunited with one of his Afghanistan handlers, Jeff DeYoung as a PTSD therapy dog, on 24 April 2014.[1][2]

On 27 July 2017 Cena was euthanized by DeYoung as he was suffering from bone cancer. Hundreds of people in Muskegon, Michigan attended the send-off.[3]
