Ratchet On His Way Home To US

Baghdad Pups now have Ratchet and are taking him home to the US! If it were not for the actions of the SPCA, along with the people that spoke out and signed this petition, Ratchet would be facing a certain death alone in Iraq. Specialist Gwen Beberg can do the victory dance today, because of all the people who took the time to care.

Ratchet is due to arrive in Minnesota in a few days, at which time he will be greeted by Gwen Beberg's parents. Beberg will be joining her dog in January when she gets out of the Army. According to Specialist Beberg, she wouldn't have made it through her 13-month deployment without Ratchet.

"We’re happy the SPCA has made arrangements for his safe travel to the U.S., we hope he has a long, happy, fruitful life there," military spokesman Lt. Col. Paul Swiergosz said.
