Great story! It's disappointing that there is so much "red tape" when it comes to adopting out our country's military working dog heroes.
ReplyDeleteI pray Sgt Rex is re-homed with Megan and can live out his life in peace and dignity.
All our soldiers, whether he or she has two legs or four, should be treated with this kind of respect.
