Mixed reports about dogs being left behind in Afghanistan and I truly hope our administration thought this through. I recently had to put my dog down and I am a huge dog person.
American Humane said on Monday that the Department of Defense had left military contract working dogs in cages on the tarmac of Hamid Karzai International Airport.
The Department of Defense Spokesman said all military dogs that were in Afghanistan left the country with their handlers.
However, questions regarding contract working dogs not being evacuated continue to circulate. Contract working dogs are trained by private contractors, not the government, for military operations.
The DoD Spokesman said the Kabul Small Animal Rescue chartered a contract plane to pick up the contract working dogs, but it never arrived. The fate of those dogs is currently unknown.
