I’m crying just as I read this wonderful story.

What a happy story! I had no idea he put it up for adoption, how heartbreaking that had to have been for him. There should be better options for our troops who have to leave their pets behind. I'm so happy he got his beloved dog back and the other didn't happen to it because nobody took it. And if the worst had happened to the guy in Iraq, deal with his pet then.
It's almost like it was meant to be somehow, maybe.
Kudos to that PAWS group and workers.

My son came up with the idea of an organization that would take care of pets that belong to our deployed service men and women.....not sure how to do that but it would be a great idea.....
I am glad there was a happy ending to this story....personally I think the dog was passed over for adoption because he was supposed to be with this Marine.....I call it a God moment....

Very nice move by the shelter to cover the costs as well. It's so nice when something like this works out.
It also reminded me of a very famous story from Greek mythology, although this story in Chicago had a happier ending:

I call it a God moment.... I hope so, stopped short of calling it a miracle myself because I'll never forget the people who lost their pets in Katrina, especially that little boy and his dog, Snowball, at that bus. Story broke my heart, and I will never forget it. Now people who have lost their homes are turning their pets into shelters.
Your son sounds like a wonderful, compassionate person, and I think it would be a good idea, too, would be willing to support such an organization. If I weren't getting old, I'd be willing to take in a pet for our troops. I couldn't handle a big dog like that especially if it is hyper. That wears off in time, and the dog will settle down now that it's reunited with its owner. It could have been the hyperactivity was a form of acting out, such as people do. Pets do engage in aberrant behavior sometimes when they feel insecure.
