Soldier Undertakes Top Secret Mission To Get Stray Puppy Back Home With Him

by pawbuzz on in Dogs 53

While Lt. Col. Jay Kopelman was fighting in Iraq several years ago, he stumbled across a 5-month-old puppy, who quickly won his heart.

Kopelman named the puppy Lava and decided to keep him, even though it was against army regulations to keep a pet.

But Kopelman could not bear to part with Lava, and with only a few months left in his tour, the race was on to find a way to get Lava to the United States.

Kopelman and a group of friends (including Marines, reporters and Iraqi civilians) undertook a top secret mission to find a way to get Lava home.

But this proved more challenging than he originally thought. At one point, Lava was hidden away close to Kopelman’s General!

That’s when a military dog trainer heard what was happening and decided to intervene.

Watch the video below to learn the full story of Lava’s journey and the soldier who refused to leave him behind!

Kopelman has also written a book about Lava’s rescue available on Amazon.

    PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD GET BLESSED AFTER CONTACTING ME!!

    I Am Gloria Cordonna from Atlanta ,My husband and I have been married for about 7 yrs now. We were happily married with two kids, a boy and a girl. 3 months ago, I started to notice some strange behavior from him and a few weeks later I found out that my husband is seeing someone. He started coming home late from work, he hardly care about me or the kids anymore, Sometimes he goes out and doesn’t even come back home for about 2-3 days. I did all I could to rectify this problem but all to no avail. I became very worried and needed help. As I was browsing through the Feacebook one day, I came across a comment that suggested that ALEKO THE GREAT can help solve marital problems, restore broken relationships and so on. So, I felt I should give him a try. I contacted him and he did a spell for me. Three days later, my husband came to me and apologized for the wrongs he did and promise never to do it again. Ever since then, everything has returned back to normal. I and my family are living together happily again.. All thanks to ALEKO THE GREAT . If you need a spell caster that can cast a spell that truly works, I suggest you contact him. He will not disappoint you. This is his E-mail: Alekospellcaster009@gmail.com or call him on +1 (442) 243-3652

    The least this country can do for its military is to make it easy for them to take home a furry companion that gave comfort and joy to them during their deployment. These dogs are like family to soldiers and they should be able to take them home.
