I can't judge you. And I won't try. And I am really not interested in creating an adversary relationship with you or anyone else. I guess I just can't figure out why it is so important to you to belittle what the rest of us have felt compelled to do for TJ and Northcut. It seems like the right thing to do, and it might be our way of finally providing a sick vet the welcome home he should have had years ago. Sounds to me like he asks for little in life....just to be left alone with his dog. You completely overlooked what was said about him carefully keeping his dog on a leash. Maybe the fact that he had bit someone in the past made it clear that the leash was necessary. And now it appears that the muzzle will be available also. But you seem to be suggesting that they are throw aways (both of them) that do not deserve our one attempt at trying to right what we know was a terrible wrong for someone. Maybe it is too little too late. Maybe it was too much. However, you have to admit that there is a lot of attention drawn to this story now and maybe, just maybe, it will create the kind of conversation this country needs to have in order to come up with some sort of solution to the problem of our vets who just never got home. They are our problem you know. All of ours.
