Be still my heart…I delayed looking at this collection, as I knew it’d be bittersweet. I wonder if they have a similar program when soldiers come home. The pups–ANY pet–would B perfect for heroes coming back with PTSD.

That just melted my heart. God bless our soldiers.

I can’t help but think of the American soldier who tossed that poor puppy across the rocks and videotaped it. Its screaming was unbearable. Its eyes weren’t even open yet. Its tiny little body being flung, until it finally smashed against the boulders, and his screaming stopped. It’s the most disturbing thing I’ve ever seen. I feel very uncomfortable with these images. I pray to God that none of these dogs were harmed.

That is just so sick, he should be put in jail… I cannot even believe it, does this person not have a heart or soul…. It must have been unbearable to watch it or even hear it…This poor little creature couldn’t even see… I am so sorry that you had to watch that! I will be thinking about this tonight!

Or about horses being slaughtered by a huge saw at their neck corralled into a space that they cannot get out of knowing they are going to die…What kind of a sick society have we become…

I am sure none of these puppies were harm. One act of violence always seems to bring on negative comments when these are good images. It’s sad that there is cruelty. It happens whether they are there, or here. Watch animal cops, it’ll break your heart. I stopped watching because it became too much. Love these images, I don’t get why you’d be uncomfortable with seeing them. Just because a soldier did a horrible crime doesn’t mean every single of one of them will. Also, as I said earlier people are cruel here in the states, they are normal everyday people. Don’t prejudge based on one incident.

From what I understand animals have no soul if you’re a Christian, so I highly doubt that’s the case.

Nothing to make these men’s lives more peaceful is my guess! You are ALL the BEST! & I truly hope you are able to bring them home with you! Please!

People who underestimate the power of love the dog has are missing out on the most powerful love on earth. Great pics. Deborah. Thank you.,

@[100000524656389:2048:Mark Francis Sinatra Vinette] You are SOOOO right! about dogs! Mark! thank YOU! for the reply & to encourage these men is such an honor, I hope they know this!

Deborah Ledbetter There is an organization that does help bring their puppies home. I have two of the sweetest puppies from afghanistan sleeping at my feet right now. So amazing!

Courtney Moore says:

April 25, 2012 at 7:50 pm

Also, a few of those pups have gone home with their soldiers. Check out Puppy Rescue Mission on facebook, also Sasha’s Legacy.

April 25, 2012 at 8:04 pm

Courtney Moore Thank You! I want to see these pups be able to come home with their person! I can only imagine that returning home with their person, could be more calming for these men! Again, THANKS sooo much for this info! I WILL do what I’m able to do! Anything will help as far as donating whatever one is able! Can you imagine if Everyone On FB gave just $1?!! It would bring LOTS of ‘em home! take care!

Cathy McKay says:

this takes a real man to be a solider and take care of animals that are to helpless to take care of themselves.

March 22, 2012 at 12:34 pm

Awww <3.. reminds me of some of the pictures my hubby sent me when he was in Iraq of a puppy he found. But they wouldn't allow him to bring her home

Monique Seitz says:

March 30, 2012 at 6:19 pm

That’s gay they should say that they can’t bring them home if they can bring other things home to their familys like clothing or something well then they should be allowed to bring an animals home their are some things that are wrong about our military if a person is willing to fight and die for their country then their are a few things that the military should not be allowed to judge or say that they can and can not do like tattoos for instants that’s what I think and how I feel

Monique Seitz says:

March 30, 2012 at 6:19 pm

I want to be a soldier so bad because I know for a fact that I would be a great/awsome asset to our military . But also at the same time I don’t have respect for how man/higher up/ government ECT TREAT OUR MEN AND WOMEN/ TROOPS ECT

March 31, 2012 at 1:04 am

Monique Seitz If it is what you want to do then go for it. We need people in the military who aren’t just in it for a pay check, but that have pride in their country and want to do something to try and change the world. If you do decide to go in thank you in advance I agree that our government could treat our troops a lot better than what they do. But my hubby keeps telling me he doesn’t care so long as he gets to d what he loves.

Alicia Denelsbeck Thank you I hear that the cut off is 30s and I am turning 27 and I would have to strangthen up my arm cause of a bike axident sorry I suck at spelling. And some other personal reasons that I don’t want to say over her that people can see.

March 31, 2012 at 10:49 am

Monique Seitz Yeah the cut off is like 32 to 35 I think. I’m sorry to hear about your accident. I hope your okay and can get everything straitened out.

Monique Seitz says:

April 1, 2012 at 12:49 am

Alicia are you and your husben still in the military????

April 1, 2012 at 1:04 am

Monique Seitz My husband is still in. He’s a CPL in the ARNG.

Monique Seitz says:

April 1, 2012 at 1:04 am

Alicia Denelsbeck What is CPL and ARNG?? Do you know how I can be a pen pall to a Soldier?????

March 21, 2012 at 4:49 pm

April 1, 2012 at 1:04 am

Monique Seitz Corpal is his rank, and ARNG is Army National Guard. He said you would have to have a soldier’s name and address to write to them, or get a hold of your USO or local armory and find out who doesn’t have family to write to them and let them know you want to become a pen pal for them and to be able to send care packages or something. Here is my personal email addy… email me any time .. aliciadenelsbeck2011@yahoo.com

Every time I hear something about our soldiers I get goose bumps I am so meant to be a soldier

Chris Martin says:

April 7, 2012 at 5:04 pm

Monique Seitz I just wouldn’t start to many comments/opinions with the expression ” thats gay”..remember gays are now allowed in the military and some may take offence including this very heterosexual married american mother of two!!

Compassion. Everyonel needs a friend in that God foresaken country. May God watch over them all.

Cathy McKay says:

Little did they ever think they would have a companion from animals from God, in a war torn environment like Afghanistan! The Lord works in mysterious ways! The soldiers and the dogs needed comfort for each other.

pups and dogs to help keep them troops safer and their morale up a bit….

Cathy McKay says:

April 28, 2012 at 7:34 pm

I totally agree with you!

Roger Crow says:

May 28, 2012 at 10:34 pm

I agree, definitely a moral booster for the troops. It’s good for our morale too to see pictures of these pups with our troops.
