In the December '06 issue of Reader's Digest, there's a wonderful story about a U.S. Marine who rescued a dog from Iraq. It's an excerpt from the book From Baghdad, With Love by Lt. Col. Jay Kopelman. I about melted when I read it and the accompanying photographs are just precious. I hope lots of other Pet Talk dog people saw it -- if not, you can access it at rd.com... it's very, very sweet. Would you all give your dogs big hugs for me after you read it. No dogs allowed in my building, you see.
