Pups Rescued In Afghanistan To Be Reunited With American Saviors

US special elite forces came across a horrifying sight in Afghanistan – a group of Afghan men had shot a dog who had just given birth, and were starting to shoot her barely week old puppies one by one. Appalled, the US forces immediately intervened and rescued the two surviving pups who they later named Rommel and Blitz. They took the pups to their base camp and raised them as canine comrades.

Welcome To America

On July 21st Rommel and Blitz arrived at John F. Kennedy International Airport to be reunited with the man who saved their lives. This heartwarming reunion is all thanks to the group Guardians of Rescue, led by Robert Misseri. "It's miraculous that these dogs lived," Misseri said. On July 23rd Rommel and Blitz were transported to North Carolina, where their savior now resides.

No Buddy Left Behind

"This is part of our No Buddy Left Behind Program," Misseri explained. "Raising that kind of money isn't easy, but helping our heroes and their four-legged battle buddies is the least we can do. After all, they sacrifice their lives for our freedom on a daily basis."
