The Korean War vet hadn’t spoken in six months until he petted the family dog.

Charles Sasser, of Albuquerque, N.M., was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s four or five years ago, according to his daughter Lisa Abeyta.

She took a video of her dog Roscoe proudly bounding up to Sasser with a bone in his mouth.

“My father has Azheimers,” Abeyta says in the video. “He has lost almost all of his speech. This is what happens when he is with our dog.”

“Oh yeah, hey!” Sasser says as Roscoe gives him the bone. “You’re got, you’ve got something. You’ve got something, huh?”

“Yeah, well, that’s, that’s too bad there. That’s all. That’s all I’ve got,” he says holding bone. “Why don’t I take care? I’ll take you, and you take me,” he says.
