ABILENE, Texas -- He served our country and wanted to again. But health issues forced a return to civilian life.

Clay Luthy was deployed three times out of Uzebekistan and two out of Qatar.

After multiple knee surgeries, including a reconstructive surgery, he wasn't able to reenlist.

But it didn't stop him from getting a job.

"We were interviewing people for his position, and he was one of the applicants," said Jay Fellers, a human resource manager for Lowe's. "So he showed up for the interview, and he had Charolette with him."

The rest is history -- and the pair is now well-known all over the internet.

Charolette is a 10-year-old golden retriever and is Luthy's service dog.

"I'm just a disabled vet, and I can't stand to be sitting at home. In stead of medications, I have Charolette," Luthy said.

Luthy said when he applied at Lowe's, he wanted to make sure Charolette wouldn't be an issue, and he was surprised at Fellers' reaction.

"He told me and said, 'oh no absolutely...we've got service dogs that work all throughout Lowe's," said Luthy.

And a few weeks later, Luthy got his job. He's been working at Lowe's for two months and couldn't be happier. Charolette goes to work with him every single day.

Charolette even has her own work vest. And the customers love the pair.

Facebook user Judy Dechert Rose posted a photo of the two on Facebook Sunday -- and the photo has been shared over 140,000 times.
