Finally, one piece of good news from the plethora of bad ones recently. I received an email update that at least one more life won't be needlessly lost in Iraq. Ratchet, the rescued dog of a soldier, has been released and is finally on its way to America. Read on for the details...
As quoted from my email: ____________________________________________________________________________ Great news! Thanks to you and the hard work of the good folks at SPCA, Operation Baghdad Pups, M.A.R.S. Safe Haven and M.A.R.S. Productions, Ratchet, the adopted Iraqi puppy, is now on a plane en route to the United States! Here's the wonderful story as told by M.A.R.S. Safe Haven, the sponsors of the Clemency for Ratchet petition: "Operation Baghdad Pups program manager, Terri Crisp, and Ratchet met at the Baghdad airport tonight and boarded a plane bound for the U.S. After SPCA International received military clearance on Wednesday, October 15, for Ratchet's travel, the organization set this final rescue plan into action. Last week, the world got behind Ratchet and Spc. Beberg's plight; an online petition collected over 65,000 signatures pleading for Ratchet's release.
"Crisp and Ratchet are scheduled to arrive at Dulles International Airport in Washington, DC on Monday afternoon. Ratchet will be cleared by the Center for Disease Control and given a thorough medical evaluation by a local Virginia veterinarian. As long as Ratchet receives a clean bill of health, he will fly to his final destinations, Minneapolis, MN, on Wednesday. "Northwest Airlines, a Minnesota base company, generously donated Ratchet and Crisp's flights from Kuwait to Minneapolis, MN. "You can receive future updates on continued efforts to help our men and women in the Armed Forces adopt their pets and bring about change to the military's policies on this issue:
