(Port Jefferson Station, NY) — United States Soldier Kevin Brady traveled from Fort Bragg Army Base to Save-A-Pet Animal Rescue and Adoption Center, Inc. on July 4^th for an emotional reunion with Bailey, a stray dog that became his battle buddy while stationed in Afghanistan.  Guardians of Rescue raised over $5,000 to arrange for Bailey’s safe return through its “Paws of War — No Buddy Left Behind” program.

Nowzad Dogs in Kabul was able to locate Bailey, in cooperation with Guardians of Rescue, where she was cared for before being shipped to Dubai Kennels.  Bailey was quarantined, spayed, vaccinated, microchipped and groomed, so that she could be reunited with her hero and best friend, who had cared for her since she was a puppy.  Brady and the eleven-month-old dog had been separated for two months before seeing each other again at Save-A-Pet.  She is currently on her way to her new forever home in Northern California, where Brady and his family reside.
