Kind of sounds familiar:

Abandoned dogs get new handlers after US pullout from Afghanistan

There’s a problem with the ownership of these dogs though, because these two comments about the dogs do not mesh with one another:

1)
Azizi said he is not sure about the identity of the previous owners — and is instead just focused on getting the canines back to work when the airport returns to normal.

“We have done training with them to find out what they are used for exactly,” he told AFP, adding that they have realized “they are bomb dogs.”

2)
“Photos circulating online were animals under the care of the Kabul Small Animal Rescue, not dogs under the care of the U.S. military,” US Army Lt. Col. Karen Roxberry, a spokesperson for US Central Command, told The Post.

Kabul Small Animal Rescue would only be rescuing Detection Dogs AFTER they were abandoned:

Hewad Azizi, who works for a company handling security at the airport, told Agence France-Presse that he looked for abandoned dogs as soon as the last American soldier left.

“When I saw (the soldiers leaving), I went to save the dogs,” he told AFP at a makeshift training center at the airport, which faces hangars once used for US aircraft and military equipment.

Azizi said he found 30 dogs, half of them in the area that was controlled by the Americans, and others were discovered in zones that belonged to former Afghan police.

Agree. Your comment does not ‘mesh’
