Share Permalink Target saved U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan
A puppy rescued from Afghanistan just after she alerted soldiers to a suicide bomber was accidentally euthanized at an Arizona shelter on Monday.
A Pinal County Animal Care and Command employee happens to be put on administrative leave for failing to adhere to techniques and euthanizing the wrong dog.
The canine,
Windows 7 Starter Keygen, Target,
Windows 7 Sale, was not too long ago brought more than from Afghanistan by a soldier who had returned from his tour of duty. Target was featured by CNN for heroism after conserving dozens of soldiers from a suicide bomber on February 11.
"She got her name because the Afghans we lived with were constantly trying to off her. She's been shot in the leg. ... The Afghans actually ran in excess of her," Sgt. Christopher Duke said,
Office 2010 Standard, who helped treatment for Target in Afghanistan and has adopted her packmate Rufus. "There's no killing this dog for sure. She's pretty much been because of it all, " he said upon their reunion in July in Georgia.
Target's new owner, Army Sgt. Terry Young whose life was saved by the stray, helped bring the 2-ish-year-old from Afghanistan to her new home in Arizona. She disappeared from Young's home on Friday. Facebook postings requested help in finding her. Animal Treatment and Management received a call about a stray female shepherd-mix puppy in the San Tan Valley area on Friday. An animal handle officer picked up the canine and introduced her to the shelter where the puppy stayed more than the weekend. The puppy was not microchipped or licensed with the county, shelter officials said.
On Monday morning, the employee mistakenly took the canine out of its pen and euthanized it. The puppy was not scheduled for euthanasia.
“I am heartsick through this. I had to personally deliver the news to the dog’s owner, and he and his family are understandably distraught,

When it comes to euthanizing an animal, there are some clear-cut procedures to observe. Based on my preliminary investigation, our employee did not adhere to those techniques.”
In an e-mail, Young told CNN affiliate KPHO, "I'm an absolute wreck today, and it's everything in my power to hold it together for me and my family. My 4-year-old son just can't understand what is going on with Target and keeps asking me to get the poison out of her and bring her home. They don't want her to go be with God yet."
“An investigation is under way,
Microsoft Office Standard 2007 Activation, and we will cooperate fully. We will also thoroughly review techniques to ensure that something like this does not happen again,” Stalter said. “This is unacceptable, and no family should be deprived of their companion because methods were not followed.”
Target was pregnant when she helped thwart the suicide bomber by attacking him. She had her litter of puppies in Afghanistan. Target's puppies have since been introduced to the United States.
