"Sen. Charles Schumer has stepped in and has asked the military to expedite Leavey's application to adopt Sergeant Rex before he is put to sleep."
WOW! Can't believe I have something good to say about Chuckie.

Maybe some Democrats have a heart afterall.
There should be procedures in place for such things. If a dog has dutifully served and somebody is willing to adopt it at the end of its service life, it shouldn’t take more than 24 to 36 hours to complete the process.

I don’t know, but I suspect it’s a liability issue. Seems like they could find some way to mitigate that.

Well, that’s where full disclosure comes in. The military can create a profile as to what makes a suitable owner (no kids, former military personnel, police dog trainers), make sure the dog is up to date in shots, etc.
If I’m not mistaken, if a seller can document full-disclosure on a product, they’re fairly well protected from liability issues.

And this from the “law makers” who were so much in a hurry that they passed a 2,471 page, 1,147,271 word bill in the middle of the night, without reading it.

That’s because they are two very different titles. It looks like there is being enough publicity generated to speed up the adoption process, especially if the general public starts chiming in.

Woof!! and good luck Corporal Megan Leavey. I hope you succeed in saving this hero dog’s life.
I feel the same way about Schumer but on this one he has got it right and rightfully so.

I agree. I NEVER thought the day would come when I could say good work Chuckie!

Couldn't Obama grant the dog a presidential ‘pardon’ just like he does for turkeys before Thanksgiving?

Another take; Schumer is responsible for making the government so unwieldy that we have to beg him for the life of a wonderful dog.

Don’t count on it. Vito Corleone did kindnesses for individuals, too, but he always made it a condition of his involvement that, one day, he would ask for a favor.
But, in reality, as with the mob, there’s never “just one favor” that gets the government, like a vampire invited into your home, out of your life.

That is the Office of Veterans Affairs number.
Dear Lord, whatever you do, do NOT try to email them, it is a total and absolute mess. Shakes head, sleep tight your government is awake : |
May God bring Megan and Rex together again, and may He guide our course as well.
