The Awful Truth

Doggy Death in Iraq?

We're big animal lovers here at the A.T., which is why it pains us like crazy to see pooches treated so poorly. Utterly unimaginable conditions in Iraq, if you even want to think about it, and one soldier came across a puppy while on duty there. Sgt. Gwen Beberg named the adorable dog Ratchet, cared for him and even sent updates back home, where Ratchet grew his own fan base back in the U.S. So very Tinkerbell Hilton.

When it was Beberg's time to fly home, the military refused to let her doggy return with her, since soldiers are prohibited from befriending animals overseas for some insane reason. They took the precious pup, and everyone's afraid the animal might be shot, execution-style.

Any animal admirer out there can sign the petition to save Ratchet, or donate to Baghdad Pups. Hey, PETA, where the ef are you? Still insulting the Olsens? This is something you should be all over, pronto. And to every dog-lovin' celeb we dished about a few days ago, hope you're hearing about this horrible treatment. Truly disgusting.
