I don't know if Lunch is involved but I saw on Nowzad's facebook page that Afghanistan has put a ban on all animals leaving the country. Means Nowzad are running out of space as they are having to hold on to animals longer than they would normally and they arr trying to build more kennels.

Yes, it sucks and Lunch is involved. Supposedly the ban is temporary but that doesn't help Nowzad at all as you are right, they are taking in more and more dogs with no space since dogs can't go home right now. Lunch doesn't go home until June or July but I hope this thing gets resolved and resolved fast. I wake up every day praying that I will go on line and see it lifted

and thank YOU Dave for bringing it to our attention. Apparently I use the best thing I've heard all week line a lot but really and truly, best thing I've heard all week! And that includes my PJ birthday show announcement!

Lunch enjoys his three walks per day up and down the sidewalks of his new large neighborhood. And trips in the car!

This is just awesome! I don't know how I missed it initially. Seems like it was a little touch and go there for a while, but a happy ending.

I sent the story to my wife. I'm sure she'll be making contributions to these charities. She's all about helping the critters.

The thing I love best about this story... https://sphotos-a-sjc.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/18989_10153060698740506_808509177_n.jpg
This is my guy, Monty Alexander Jones, whom is sitting on the hubby's lap. Let me tell you his favorite part of the day- we go to the hospital at the Veterans Center... Monty is a Veteran of veterans.. he has me. But he cares for nearly any and ALL wounded and PTSD vets who are also at the hospital and clinic when I go. One of the clinic's calls him "dr. Monty" and a lot of the patients think he is there as the therapy dog, but he is my service dog.

Supporting a soldier and even a civilian, trying to bring back a war pet is huge--- I'm so glad this thread was started and Lunch has a home where he is not going to hear bombs or any of that. Some of the dogs that come back also have PTSD and it's imperative that these sweethearts stay with people who have known and loved them when they've been their most vulnerable, just as it has been for those of us who wore uniforms. Monty ALWAYS has a veterans' card on him, and he very often wears camouflage cloth, as it also helps other PTSD folks approach him as a service dog. The TV commercials with the "WE have Your 6" on them? The only real supporters I had in the service were the animals I got to work with... sadly as a female that was more true than not.

I'm glad 10c'rs got to see the side of the world we live in, and help.. I hope it always stays that way. So much happier doing than talkin'.
