This leaves me grief stricken. WHAT THE HELL?

Target, the dog who survived Afghan war and melted hearts on Oprah, mistakenly put down at Arizona animal shelter

Target the dog lived through explosions in war-torn Afghanistan, saved the lives of U.S. soldiers and was featured on Oprah - but she couldn't survive a brief stay at an Arizona animal shelter.
An employee at the Pinal County facility was today on administrative leave after euthanizing the shepherd mix by mistake.
'When it comes to euthanizing an animal, there are some clear-cut procedures to follow,' said Ruth Stalter, director of the Animal Care And Control centre.
'Based on my preliminary investigation, our employee did not follow those procedures.'

Sgt. Terry Young, the owner of the dog, told The Arizona Republic, 'I just can't believe that something like this would happen to such a good dog.'
Target and two other dogs, Rufus and Sasha, were mutts who befriended soldiers stationed in Afghanistan, who began to feed them and treated the canines as pets on the military base.
One night in February a suicide bomber came to the base in the middle of the night, wearing 25 pounds of explosives and intent on killing Americans.
The three dogs frightened, barked at and bit the bomber, scaring him and waking the sleeping soldiers in the process. Deterred, the terrorist detonated himself outside instead of coming in.
The lives of 50 soldiers were potentially spared because of the dogs' actions.
Sasha was killed, but Target and Rufus lived. Medics treated the injured dogs like soldiers and the two were saved.
Only five soldiers were injured in the bombing and all recovered
Sgt Young said the dogs was treated like royalty from then on at the base at Dand Patan, near the Pakistan border.
With the help of aid groups, Sgt Young brought Target to the San Tan Valley area south-east of Phoenix in August, when he returned home from his tour of duty. Rufus went to live with another soldier in Georgia.
Target was featured on 'Oprah' in September in a show about amazing animals.
On Friday of last week the dog escaped from the family's backyard. Sgt Young then put out notices and contacted TV stations that did reports on the missing dog.

A neighbour found Target wandering later that day and put her in his backyard and called the shelter. The dog did not have a microchip or tag.
On Friday night, Sgt Young found Target's picture on a website used by Pinal County's dog catchers to help owners track lost pets. He thought the shelter was closed for the night and weekend.
He showed up at the shelter in Casa Grande to claim his dog on Monday, only to find out she was dead.
County officials say the employee mistakenly took the dog out of its pen Monday morning and euthanized it.
'My four-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,' a teary Sgt Young told the local CBS TV station.
The Arizona Republic said Sgt Young and his family will get the dog's cremated remains.

Careless bastards. That punishment is not enough.

WHERE'S PETA? WHERE'S THE OUT RAGE AMERICA?

A US soldier is seen stroking a stray dog, which have multiplied since the US invasion. In 2008, when the canine bombs were found, Baghdad started to cull dog packs. By 2010 there were over 1m strays and officials sent out sharp shooters to cull them...

Of course the very first question at the beginning of this story is: WHERE IS PETA? OH I forgot...Peta is busy with the persecution little old ladies with too many cats. I guarantee you the Obama admn.does not want you to know about this. Remember this is the admn.who will not name who the terrorists are. And this is the Admn.who wants to treat the jihadists with kid gloves and ice cream and warm pjs. These are some sadistic bastards who love blood no matter where it comes from. In Iraq at the beginning of the war they loaded camels, dogs and donkeys with explosives and sent them towards U.S.soldiers who have a kind place in their hearts for animals. STEAMED YET?

A cargo plane was targeted by terrorists who loaded two dogs up with explosives on a flight from Baghdad International Airport to Los Angeles. The dogs were discovered in a freight area at Baghdad airport, but because they were dead, they were never loaded aboard the plane.

What's next? Kids? By the by, infidels knew of the plot two years ago, but covered for the Muslim terrorists and kept it secret.

Unbelievable. It must have been difficult for the Muslims stuffing the dogs with the bombs and detonators, considering how they loathe dogs. They sacrifices they make for jihad.........

The sick Islamic terrorist plot to bomb a U.S. plane with exploding DOGS Daily Mail (hat trip Petrov)

Sick Islamic terrorists tried to bring down a US cargo plane using two exploding DOGS, it was revealed today.

The Kamikaze canines - whose stomach had been stuffed with bombs and detonators - were discovered at Baghdad airport two years ago, French daily Le Figaro said.

They had been primed to explode in mid-flight, but were never loaded aboard the aircraft because freight handlers spotted both dogs had died in their cages.

A cargo plane was targeted by terrorist who loaded two dogs up with explosives on a flight from Baghdad International Airport, formerly named Saddam International Airport, to Los Angeles

Post mortem examinations on the animals uncovered explosives and detonators set to go off several hours into the flight from the Iraqi capital to Los Angeles, Le Figaro said.

The paper learned the information from a US military source earlier this week, it said.

The horrifying revelations come after one of two bombs sent from Yemen concealed inside printer ink cartridges was discovered at Britain’s East Midlands airport last week.

France’s interior ministry claimed the device was defused just 17 minutes before it was due to explode.

The shock discovery of the live animal bombs two years ago was investigated by the International Civil Aviation Organisation at the time and airlines and cargo flight operators were immediately alerted to risk of exploding pets, Le Figaro said.

The paper added: 'This discovery was made two years ago but kept secret from the public.

'The dogs were discovered in a freight area at Baghdad airport, but because they were dead, they were never loaded aboard the plane.'
