The whole article is worth a read — especially the 2nd page where they discuss the German Shepherd. According to FR rules this had to be excerpted. Have tissues handy.

I loved the part where the doggies got massages and accupuncture and the medical doctors helped out!

It is time to put an end to the charade of “moderate Islam.” There is no such thing as moderate Muslim. Muslims are either jihadists or dormant jihadists – moderate, they are not."

Great dog thanks for posting!

Just so you know, my JRT Hairy the Angel dog and I are going to the Forum in Houston today. He is a newly certified therapy dog and he is going over there to cheer up the folks in the convalescent ward.
