There was a similar story about a Special Forces soldier who wanted his dog "Fluffy" brought back from Iraq, and somehow he ended up getting it done. Not sure how he managed it, but anyone interested in helping this soldier get her dog should check into that story. I know there was an outcry from the public on the behalf of "Fluffy" so the military found an answer to the problems there in getting that dog to the handler. I do remember the handler ended up with his dog, because I saw a follow-up story about how good of a family pet he was making.

Fluffy's website- www.k9fluffy.com. He was given a waiver by the military.
www.uswardogs.org is another good site.
