Victory!
I’m delighted to tell you that the beautiful military working dogs who were scheduled to be put down this week have been given a reprieve. They will be “re homed” with people who will care for them the way they deserve after all their hard work!
Thank you, thank you to all of you who took a minute to sign the petition. It made all the difference in this case. The number of signatures topped out at 374,304 (in just 4 days) and was still going strong, before the Defence Secretary responded and ordered that the dogs be saved.
Love and hugs to all who helped in the quest to save these dogs!

Kevin and his handler
Military working dogs are highly trained canines who go to war to help do very dangerous work. Dogs have fought alongside American forces in every conflict since the Revolutionary War (but only officially since WWII). The particular dogs in danger of having their lives taken, worked with UK forces on the battlefield.
According to an article in The Sun, two Army dogs who helped save thousands of lives while on duty in Afghanistan will be put down next week, because Top Brass say they can’t be re-homed. This is despite having trained, military dog handlers who are willing and able to take them in and provide a home for them.
Kevin worked in Afghanistan (Helmand Province) sniffing out IED’s. He will be killed next week if there is no intervention on his behalf.
