Operation Baghdad Pups

This truly admirable mission began on September 11, 2007, when a plea from a U.S. soldier in Iraq to take his adopted Iraqi dog, Charlie, home with him to the United States became public. It was soon clear that more than a few soldiers were finding meaning and comfort in the abandoned dogs of this war-torn country. Unfortunately, the removal and transport of animals from a war zone are pricey and complex, but lucky for everyone, the SPCA got involved and one by one, these dogs have been making their life-saving treks back to the United States from both Iraq and Afghanistan.
