Target, the Aghan Hero Dog

Facebook.com

It was reported that Target, a dog who was adopted by  Sgt. Terry Young, 37, an Army medic after being rescued for stopping a homicide bomber in Dand Aw Patan; was accidently euthanized.

This past week, Target went out of the backyard and was picked up by a stranger who decided to drop the dog off to the pound so Sgt. Young would be able to find him.

Luckily, Sgt. Young found his dog online and paid the fee to recover her over the weekend.

Monday came too late. By the time Sgt. Young got to the pound, he had found out his dog had accidently been euthanized (the employeet picked the wrong dog out of the pen and mistakenly adminstered a lethal injection).

A dog who had gone through a war and saved soldiers lives ended his life too short. Surviving the war and being adopted was a joy for Target and for Sgt Young. Accidently being euthatnized is a horrible thing, especially when the dog has made an impact on the Sargent's life so quickly.

Sgt. Young is planning a candle light vigil at one of Target's favorite park.

Target even has his own facebook page ( alt. facebook page) where followers were able to see and follow Target's life after returning home from the war in afghanistan.

If only the employee would have been paying attention to what they were doing Target would still be alive and able to celebrate Thanksgiving with his family.
