nubbs

I'm not sure if anyone else saw the today show yesterday, but a U.S. soldier serving in Iraq rescued a dog named Nubbs from Iraq, I didn't catch everyword except that when the dog showed up his commanding officer said no, get rid of the dog, then they moved from that area I think either 50 to 100 miles and oddly enough the dog was so attached that he followed the troop all the way to their new area. The commanding officer still was kind of regulations are regulations, but the soldiers decided the dog followed and he was worth keeping so then they searched for a way to get him flown to the states, after a vitual asking for money to raise I think $10,000 Nubbs was flown to the states away and out of the war zone Iraq.
I think that was awsome he was a beautiful dog, it is however too bad that they were not aware of Oprah's grant for U.S. soldiers wanting to bring a dog back I think precisely at $10,000 however I'm sure she can't bring home every soldier's dog, but yes there is one available through her angel network. That wasn't the grant I was searching for but it is one I found.
So yes Oprah is an angel, trying to help our troops as well.

I'm just happy Nubbs made it safely to the states and is at least reunited with his soldier until the next deployment.
