Testimonials & Thank You's
Operation Baghdad Pups Testimonials
Over the past few years, SPCA International has heard many touching stories from US service men and women who were directly affected by Operation Baghdad Pups. Read their testimonials below.
"I want to thank everyone at Baghdad Pups and SPCA International for bringing home my war buddy Daisy. I was so happy when she made it home. It brought tears to this Sergeant’s eyes to know she was saved from certain death. Now she is here for me as I adjust to being home with Ptsd. I just love her she is my rock. Daisy was a special dog to Sergeant Christofferson before I arrived in Iraq. May he rest in peace.
SPCA International brought a measure of closure for his family to know that Daisy was saved and now at home with us. Thank you." - SGT Daniel Funovitz
