Dog rescued from Afghanistan ‘now a prisoner of a different war’

Animal welfare group opposes OSPCA seizure of 71 dogs from North Bay farm. Among them is Sadie, rescued by a U.S. Navy SEAL.

Sadie the herding dog survived the war in Afghanistan only to be scooped up this summer by an animal welfare agency near North Bay, Ont.

It was a roundabout route that brought Sadie, originally rescued from an Afghan war zone by U.S. Navy SEAL Patrick Feeks, to Canada.

Feeks shipped her 11,700 kilometres to his home in Columbus, Mo., with the help of Puppy Rescue Mission, a group that helps members of the military.

Feeks’s plan was to reunite with Sadie once his tour of duty was over, but he was killed in a helicopter crash on Aug. 17, 2012.
