Will Army puppy, Ratchet, be allowed to return home with a Minnesota soldier?
Ratchet is going to his new home!
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,440721,00.html
Background:
"I just want my puppy home," Sgt. Gwen Beberg of Minneapolis wrote to her mother in an e-mail Sunday from Iraq, soon after she was separated from the dog following a transfer. Operation Baghdad Pups' program coordinator, Terry Crisp, said the adopted dogs left behind face death on Iraqi streets.
The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals International and Beberg's Congressman, Democrat Keith Ellison, are campaigning for the dog to come to US soil. A petition to bring Ratchet 'home' has already received over 20,000 signatures. More on Yahoo News.
Note: This question will be settled on the announcement that Ratchet will be transferred to the US. If no announcement is made by the end of November this question will be settled as No.
