Soldier trades smokes for maimed dog in Afghanistan

Good story....


Army sergeant "Nick B" surely saw some heart-wrenching horrors during his stint in Afghanistan, but one of them he realized he had to change. When he came across a tied-up dog covered in mud, its ears and tail hacked off, Nick knew he needed to get the pup away from its owners. He traded his cigarettes for the dog, won his trust with beef jerky and worked out a deal with the Puppy Rescue Mission to transport his new pal, Bodhi, through Taliban-controlled areas and out of the country. The pair had an emotional reunion in Florida last weekend. "He's going to have a great life with us," Nick said. See? Cigarettes are good for something.

My friend just rescued a dog through a program that saves dogs from Afghan and Iraq. Crazy but amazing at the same time.

Its a good thing what that kid did. When I was over there, there was a dog that hung out at the gate,she had puppies and something happend to them. When we went out on dismount she would go with us and lots of time she would alert us to locals. It was cool. She would stay with us untill we returned and then go back to the gate and wait for the next dismount.
