Why would the Germans feed one sibling dog and malnourish the other?
Quote:
We were driving back to the tent and I noticed there were two dogs, one running to the left and one running to the right,” Duling said.
Duling quickly learned the female’s name was Xena, and the male was Bolt. Although they were brother and sister from the same litter, Xena had been very well-taken care of, but the same couldn’t be said for her brother.
“I was stationed with the German army. The German guys were taking care of Xena. They had built her a little house, feeding her two to three times a day. Bolt was kind of left outside. No one really gave him food. He was very malnourished, very skinny but still a very happy dog,” Duling said.
I'm shocked the military would do this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When my son was serving in Iraq, he and several other Marines became attached to dogs who had wandered on base. They were a Godsend when these guys had particularly bad days – which was almost everyday. Their loyal companions would be there waiting for them upon return from their missions. Too bad the command decided the dogs could be diseased and ordered them all SHOT on the spot while most of the guys were away on patrols. Tossed into a pile and left to rot, my son, who still suffers from PTSD remembers how his little friend’s stiff leg stuck straight up in the air from the heap for weeks. Nice story, eh?! True fact – and to this day, we’re STILL fighting for his VA benefits! Wish I could be happy for Duling but if you’ve experienced what we have for the past 9 years, you’d understand!
nothing about this war shocks me. I will contribute however I can to help these soldiers bring home their buddies. i feel it is the least we can do for them.
It costs a lot to medically clear and ship an animal from Afghanistan.
Check out the Puppy Rescue Mission, which aims at stopping the heartbreak for so many soldiers of their loyal companions being left to torture and death when the soldiers leave. It might sound, well, cost-ineffective, but if there are people willing to donate (and there are many) and it helps some soldiers hold onto their hearts and emotional selves, I'm all for it.

I agree! I just wish i could afford to donate at the present time.
If you use Facebook, there will be an announcement of a new dog to be brought to the U.S., the story, and a place to "chip in" on Paypal, I think it is.
I personally prefer to just write a check periodically, but the chip-in amounts can be much smaller and still contribute quite a lot to the projects (and the photos are wonderful, the soldiers and their dogs, and then the dogs happy in their new homes).
