 Agreed.
 for being able to do it. I would probably end up kidnapping the dog. It takes a very strong family to do what you guys are doing. I know it's going to be hard to give him back but thank you and your family for doing what your doing. |

We are privileged to have become friends with a couple of EODs and a number of military people that have worked with bomb sniffing dogs. They have to man said the dogs are invaluable in execution of the mission and perhaps more so for morale. My age has prevented me from making a real contribution since 9.11. Fostering Ppirro is a contribution and our shared sacrifice. When we turn in Ppirro in mid July, we will all understand a bit more how the parents of those that serve feel when their sons and daughters leave for boot camp.
It isn't a day we look forward too. If we did not believe in the value, in the mission for Military Working Dogs, there is no way we could return him. Ppirro is part of our family and we'll watch from a distance his progress and service with great pride knowing we played a part in his success.
The kids know and understand the mission, but I have not shown them this video and hope they don't find it.
We all read Soldier Dogs before we got Ppirro.

Mac, we had no idea Ppirro was a recruiting poster boy. Thanks for posting it to my FB page!!!!
