I honestly think all of this is crazy, lol. I know soldiers are not "supposed" to keep animals, but hell we sure did. We even bought a couple puppies off the locals and kept them on our cop. We also had a few stray cats that lived there too. And this was a tiny little outpost in the city. We did have to kill a couple of the dogs because they got really sick, none of us got sick from them, could we have yea I suppose. We also had a dog that would follow us out on missions everywhere and chase off other dogs and little kids. He wound up getting in a fight with another dog and we had to put him down. I think its cool that the OP wants to save this dog, but I also agree that there are plenty of awesome dogs in the states that need homes, and why should we bring more.
