They maintain that it was an ISAF mwd and not one belonging to US forces. Either way, poor dog looks like he is ready to go home. Sadie

I'm still trying to figure out what leverage they hope to gain by capturing a dog? Maybe they think he'll give away some security secrets, like the Bush's Baked Beans dog? Sadie

Jodi Moen Webboard User Reg: 12-28-2010 Posts: 799 Loc: USA Offline	Duane, I was thinking the same thing and was thinking that they know americans love their dogs, so in their minds a way to lower morale, also they did get some equipment the dog was wearing and the dog itself has value, I don't know if my speculation is close probably not, I just feel bad for the poor beast. My animals are not "like" family, they ARE family.

IMO from the video the dog looks quite cowed, but I think someone may be turning a softer hand to him now and again. Better than I expected first hearing of this story.
