LANDING ZONE LIZZY!

"It's so funny how something as simple as a puppy can make even the hardest,
toughened soldier melt upon a few kisses to the face."


      

Hi, My Name Is Gabe, I'm an Army veteran who served 8 years for the USA. I served my country faithful. My father served 23 years for our country. I am currently working to train the Afghan Army and assist our troops. While deployed in Afghanistan I fell in love with a little girl. She is my baby Girl Lizzy, Long for LZ(Landing Zone). I found her on the landing zone amongst MRAPS and Helos runnng around the LZ. I have been taking care of her for a little under 2 weeks now. I live by myself in tents so hiding her is no problem. I take her to work with me everyday. The guys love her so much. I need to get her back to the States before Vector Control finds her and puts her down. I have strong connections with the SF community and I am currently working on trying to get her shots, but nothing is guarantted. I have a bunch of guys (Army & Civilian) here that are willing to donate funds and plenty of guys that want to take her back to the states. This little girl has touched alot of hearts. She is the one thing that makes being here tolerable. Can you Please Help Lizzy!

Gabe

     Paw Salute Gabe for Giving This Precious Girl a chance to live a life a Puppy Deserves!!!

MAJOR




Major's story
Gamberi is a desert region approximately 10 kilometers North of Jalalabad, Afghanistan. I was having a bad day so I went for a walk. I sat down next to some HESCO barriers to just reflect on the day and my mission here in Afghanistan. I saw movement out of the corner of my eye and saw this yellow Lab mix dog with dark brown eyes. He sat down about 15 feet away from me and started wagging his tail. I called to him to come over and he did. He laid down next to me about two feet away. This being our first encounter, he did not come any closer. After that I would look for him and I would sit down and he would come over and just listen to me talk to him. I would feed him beef jerky treats when I could get them. He became very comfortable around me and would let me touch him all over. I noticed he had apparently broke his leg awhile back. It occurred to me that he was the dog I saw limping about a month ago. He would not let me get anywhere near him then. I also noticed a scar across the right top of his head. It has healed up nicely now. I realized that I have a similar scar also and I broke my left arm also. Because of that I decided to call him "Major" also. Now he lays down next to me usually resting his head on my foot or leg. He became so friendly that I picked him up and put him into a car so a contractor could take care of him while I was on leave. Apparently he escaped the next day when I was gone. No one could find him. When I returned and heard this, I was so disappointed. I went out looking for him, but he found me first. Now, every time I see him, I put his collar on and I take him for short walks. He does not even limp anymore. He comes over when I call or whistle. He lays down next to me with his head on my foot or leg. Sometimes he will gently grab my hand when he wants me to pet him some more. I find it refreshing to find an animal so gentle and comforting in war torn Afghanistan. I have even asked him what he is doing here, but of course, he did not answer..... He is a good listener even if he does not say much.

BUZZ


Well Buzz came to us at our firebase one day because pretty much everywhere you go there seems to be a camp dog but since being there even as a small pup him and I attached from the start. Come dinner time he knew who to see, come time for everyone to sleep he knew who's room had a bed ready for him after a short period you couldn't find him not following me. I at first had no plans of taking him home with me but sadly one day while I was out working the Afhgans that worked in our area decided to do what they do to dogs and cut off his ears, once my anger was done I realized that this little guy had become my new best friend on the camp and after seeing what they had done to him I knew at that point I was going to do what ever it took to get him home with me. He has got to be one of the most loyal nicest dogs I have ever had and I've had dogs since I can remember I know he's going to make a great family dog for my wife and I. However as you know the cost can be tough and though I'm going to do what ever it takes help can go a long way and would really be greatly appreciated. Again thank you for what you do to help fellow soldiers out send more then one or two and it wouldn't be to big.
