THINK PAWSITIVE: Efforts Underway to Rescue 50+ U.S. Military Dogs Stranded in Afghanistan
Human Events ^ | 08/31/2021 | Staff

Posted on 08/31/2021 6:16:55 PM PDT by Kevin in California

Following the withdrawal of the final U.S. troops from Afghanistan, a non-profit group is working to rescue dozens of military dogs abandoned at the Kabul airport.

Veteran Sheepdogs of America has been tasked with the responsibility of retrieving 51 military dogs. Indeed, a photo began circulating over the weekend of several dog carriers in front of a helicopter, however those crates represent just a small portion of the total number of furry friends left behind.

We need visual signage for every democrat saying “this guy supports Joe Biden and his DOG KILLING WAYS”
or
Republicans will LEAVE NO DOG BEHIND!

There are about 4,000 students and faculty at the American University of Afghanistan at Kabul who were left behind and are desperately seeking a way out. I think they take priority to dogs.

I agree. Most folks get carried away whenever dogs (or even cats!) are mentioned.

I’d rather have the dogs to be honest.

"I think they take priority to dogs."

I don't. Student and faculty can think and reason. Dogs depend on humans especially working dogs. These dogs give unqualified love for their handler and their mission. They will give their life for another. You need to think about that statement a bit more.

Military dogs are just that. Members of the military. Leave no soldier behind.

I remember when Mittens Romney was hounded by the media when he said on family vacations they would strap the dog to the roof of the car. Or something along those lines. To me personally, service dogs are veterans as well, so Biden can crayon in those pups as abandoned American service members as well...

Carter and 0bama are sitting back thinking, “the pressure for worst president is off us”.

Actually the dogs could probably help get them out.

Unfortunately, the caged pups are most likely already dead. The other ones, as well, I’m sure - probably shot to death. Where the Hell has PETA been? NOTHING, NOT A PEEP. Just like the left wing wacko feminists about the women and girls who will now be raped, tortured, killed, married off at young ages. Not a word from them, either. God, how I hate Biden.

I am extremely upset about it. It’s amazing that the Democrats who were always worried about the optics of a situation stepped into it this time when they know the eventual death of these dogs would cause a ruckus in the US.

When I think of the fate of these dogs around Moslem extremists with guns, it makes me even angrier at Biden, if that’s even possible.

The whole dam affair was wrong! All of it.

I really doubt any of those dogs are alive any longer. They will shoot them and pile them up and then let this outfit come in and pick them up..DEAD.

Well, you have your dogs. Probably 90,000 of them who took the chance on a free trip to the USA.

What about the 7 bus loads of women and kids? I would happily adopt one of these dogs. If they make it home even though they shed.

Good dogs.
