I told you folks my dog Ozzy watches too much television. Yesterday he brought to my attention a program aired on the "Military Channel" a program that featured soldiers who have adopted stray dogs in Iraq and Afghanistan. Ozzy was touched, since he too was dropped off at a playground by his former owner and left to fend for himself. At 12 pounds of sheer min-pin ferocity, it is a wonder he survived.
Ozzy and I would like to take this moment to say we love and support our soldiers on duty, both at home and abroad. Those who are serving in current war zones have our utmost respect and appreciation... and to know that, amidst the chaos of war, our troops are actually adopting stray dogs and giving them a home is a testimony to their character. Ozzy noticed some of these dogs were finding transportation to the US to live with their new military families.
These war-zone canines are returning the favor to our men and women in uniform. After spending time on US bases, and actually participating in patrols, these dogs are assisting our soldiers' transition to life after Iraq and Afghanistan. Personal testimony reveals how much they have helped ease the symptoms of PTSD. Ozzy is glad to know that dogs are contributing to the war effort, and we both hope the best for those who are able to come home safely.
