R&R where?

My fellow blogger Anthony Licari, who is stationed in Iraq, recently posted about a working dog who is nearing retirement.

Pearl, who is a bomb sniffing dog, is to return to the United States soon. Tony emailed me about her, saying:

Pearl used to work in Iraq finding bombs, but she's now with us back at the base after her tour. Her handler is a Marine and Pearl will be adopted by him when she gets back to the states ... she's retired from active duty now (LOL).

I think it's funny that they send a dog to Iraq for "some quiet time."

Enjoy your new life, Pearl. And thanks, Tony.
