Thompson is a military K-9 handler and says his dog Frida helped him cope with missing his wife and kids while he was deployed.
"Not being able to be there for the birth, and missing the kiddos a lot of nights, being with Frida really helped me out."
"Yeah I'm excited. It's weird that when he left we were a family of three and now we're officially a family of four!" said his wife Sarah.
