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

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.

The Biden Administration is despicable. Dangerous. Indefensible. Disgusting.

As much as I love dogs, and I do, LET’S GET THE PEOPLE OUT FIRST! Then, try to get dogs out!

All efforts should be aimed toward rescuing Americans.

Sorry the military left the dogs, but at the end of the day, they’re dogs.

From the web...

Pentagon spokesman John Kirby issued a very carefully worded tweet in response to multiple reports that service dogs were reportedly left stranded in the Kabul airport.

“To correct erroneous reports, the U.S. Military did not leave any dogs in cages at Hamid Karzai International Airport, including the reported military working dogs,” tweeted Kirby, adding “Photos circulating online were animals under the care of the Kabul Small Animal Rescue, not dogs under our care.”

After podering the situation..
Joe left fellow soldiers behind and let others die...
Joe allowed his dogs to be left behind...
Jill must be relieved Joe didn’t have her go over to Kabul for a while.

So you actually believe dogs are more important than human beings?

They are paired and sleep with their handlers.
When and where ever the dog goes, the handler goes.
The dogs sleep with their handlers in combat.
They can fly with their handlers.

Agreed. Leaving military service dogs behind is the same as leaving any other military personnel behind.

At the end of the day are the same as leaving military personnel behind. Think about that. These dogs fought for this country. The “students” did not.

I never mentioned the kids. What about the Americans who were living there. Most of them were supporting our mission yet they were abandoned.

I’ll admit I’m not a pet guy but I have great respect for real service dogs. But human life far outweighs any animal.

Amen.

They also are unable to understand *where* their people are and *why* they were left behind.

All they are doing now is literally watching every movement, hoping to see their people again and they will continue to do so, forever.

Super stressful for such a loyal being.
