A SOLDIER'S PERSPECTIVE
THE WEB'S LEADING MILITARY BLOG SINCE 2004
Dustin was a K9 War Dog Handler and MP who was killed in Iraq on March 21 2007. His K9 Lex survived but with injuries.
He received shrapnel wounds to his body, almost lost his tail, and to this day still has shrapnel lodged near his spine. The Veterinarians opted to leave this shrapnel in place as to not risk damage to Lex’s spine.
Since Dustin’s death the family has tried diligently to get Lex adopted to them so that they may care for him. Lex was of course the last (person) to see Dustin alive. For those of you who do not this story, please take the time to read a little more about him and view photos of him at www.remembercpldustinlee.blogspot.com.
Please take a few minutes to go to this site, read Lex’s story and sign this petition. Bring Lex home to his family!

This is a very sad it made me cry, Please let Lex go to Dusty family who love him dearly,Lex is sad, pining, has pain and should be retired,
He has served his Country well, he was injured in the line of duty, and should be retired with honours, he deserves it, he is a sad dog who doesn’t know what has happened to his partner Dusty, Lex will wait for ever for the return of Dusty, because he does not understand why, so let him go to Dusty’s loving family,

I think it would be great if Mississippians would take the time to thank Representative Jones (NC) for helping this Mississippi family. If you are interested, his address is: Representative Walter B. Jones, 2333 rayburn, HOB, Washington, DC 20515-3303. He has certainly made this a happier holiday season for this family.
