This should not be. Megan should be able to adopt REx and give him a home. It is unconscionable that the Air force would rather put the dog to sleep than let Megan adopt him. This is crazy.

These 2 were inseperatable in war they should be together now! Can’t the Army allow this to happen.

Do the right thing, for goodness sakes! Allow Marine Cpl. Megan Leavey to adopt Rex. My husband is an Army veteran and our son is a Marine veteran. This is preposterous.

The military would rather put him to sleep than reunite him with Megan? Who is running this farce? Let Rex live out his days with someone who really loves this wonderful dog and not cooped up in a kennel…………………..

People, people – please!! Soldiers are Army (when spelled with a capital ‘S’). All branches of service can be ‘soldiers’ with a small ‘s’ in a generic sense for all fighting forces. BUT! Members of the United States Marine Corps are always spelled with a capital ‘M’ as Marines!! Thanks…

This situation is a prime example that answers the question “gee, why does the military have so many suicides?” There is no recognition of soldiers and other living things as feeling, loving beings. There are just things to be used by the military and discarded. We can’t seem to get beyond that primitive, barbarian, emotionless state that soldiers have endured from their commanders since time immemorial. If they don’t give her the dog good luck recruiting people who care. Or maybe they don’t want those people.

He is her family, give him back to her.They have had their life on the line for us.It is truly a benefit that will not cost the govt.

What is the point of keeping them apart. Seriously??????

I cannot imagine the Army not allowing the dog to reunite with his partner. It’s inhuman and makes this country look really bad. They both served and were injured…there’s something really wrong with this entire picture…someone out there needs to do something and fast…too much time has passed as it is…what is the Army waiting for….what’s it gonna take??? Whatever needs to be done to make this happen….count me in…..

also Thelexusproject@optonline.com hope all these inks help we need to get a petition up too, the Lexus Project as an amazing Facebook page, they offered help!

The dog served his country, he deserves benefits also. Let him retire and live out his life with his fellow Marine. I have previously donated to an organization to help reunite a serviceman and dog. Try contacting http://www.supportour4leggedsoldiers.org. Our prayers to the both of you. May this be a happy ending.

The dog is unable to perform the job duties, according the the law he is adoptable.

Call Rep. Steny Hoyer and have him put some political teeth into this subject, as he is the author of the bill that becam law providing for all MWDs to retire, and have him release the dog.

thank you & sgt rex for your service. hope the corps respects its motto of semper fi – ever/always faithful and reunites these 2 comrades in arms. they both helped each other in their recovery from a service connected injury. a nephew (army lieut, and ranger) served 2 iraq tours, earning a purple heart. c’mon corps, do the right thing and let rex retire in grace, and peace. rex has repaid the investment you made in him many times over. hope senator schumer can help reunite these 2 heroes. can we get a hoooooahh & a hooray, please

To Marine Cpl Leavey-Good luck in bringing back your dog to United State.
You have fought a war to protect our Freedom, so I just hope that they do the right thing and let him come back to you. Monroe NY 10950

Marine Cpl Leavey fought a war to protect us; now we need to help her get her dog to U.S. I hope that this will happen because as a dog lover myself and with a German Shepard, they are very protected animals. I wish you alot of luck. Monroe, NY 10950

Give her the dog, its the humane thing to do.

The FBI and DEA fabricate evidence, steal from suspects and use murder to close bad cases.
A corrupt DEA poisoned my dog to death because I called the San Francisco Attorney General’s office to complain that the FBI and DEA where fabricating evidence and stealing from me.
Corrupt D.O.J. employees are also putting trace amounts, trying to stay under detectable amounts, of dangerous chemicals in their suspect’s food. The idea is to cause reduction in quality of life and eventual death.
Also since that time, they have been using gang members to harass me and tampering with my car with they intention of causing an automobile crash.

Bring it to Facebook this needs to go viral!

they the (army) should let that dog go home with her, he did his part now let him live with her and be happy, are does the army not like to see anyone or thing happy you have know use for the dog give the dog a home not a grave..Please please.

As a Veteran myself I find it difficult to understand why these 2 Combat Veterans cannot be reunited. I was just on the phone with a representative of Guardians of Rescue,he returned a voice message I’d left about Cpr Leavy and Rex. He said he would look into the matter and get back to me.

Thank you Arlene for the 1-888-287-3864 connection number. Laurie, the US Military is no pick-nick, a little slow on the pick up but 33 years after my discharge and injury they still are immensely helpful with my health care.

When I am in the presence of other Vet’s at the VA I finally understand the “Band of Brothers and Sisters” Please don’t throw around “Screw” so quickly. I too am not in love with the organization but it’s members are another thing entirely,

Please call 1-888-287-3864, make a donation if you can or just thank them for their efforts.

This is so sad and unbelievable. Is there an online petition we can circulate??

Really? Really???? Come on. There is an obvious bond between this soldier and her dog and no one would know that dog like she does. Please, let her adopt him and let her continue to take care of him. They both did their duty, now the Army needs to do theirs and do the right thing.

We need to respect ALL of our veterans. Let this soldier retire and let him live out his final days as a civilian with someone that loves him!

Whats wrong with the ARMY? she fought the Dog helped Her- Hes 10-not many yrs left- u cant let her beloved dog spend last yrs comfortable with his PAL?? SCREW the ARMY- So cold and Cruel!
