Baghdad Mascots

Many of you have inquired about the dog's who have been housed in Baghdad since last September. These dog's are still safely housed (minus Scout & Rocket who were shipped this month) - StrayDog, Sandy, Hadji, Leeza & Alexis are expected home in September.
Liberty, Justice & Pretty's soldier's have recently decided not to bring them to the US for various reasons, they will remain in Iraq or transported into Kuwait for adoptive homes.
