I was watching TV this morning when I stumbled across a program titled Operation Baghdad Pups. It was on the military channel and hosted success stories of these dogs that were taken in by US troops. Soldiers would be deployed to Iraq and Iran and in these countries, they would come across homeless dogs and befriend them. These dogs are unofficial therapy dogs in the sense that they help troops cope with loss while overseas. Check out the site, maybe donate. Support the troops at Operation Baghdad Pups!
"U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan befriend local animals as a way to help cope with the emotional hardships they endure every day while deployed in a war zone. The Operation Baghdad Pups program provides veterinary care and coordinates complicated logistics and transportation requirements in order to reunite these beloved pets with their service men and women back in the U.S. These important animals not only help our heroes in the war zone, but they also help them readjust to life back home after combat."
Yours truly,
Alexa
