Soldier's heroic dog, brought from Afghanistan, mistakenly euthanized.


FLORENCE, Ariz. - A Pinal County employee has been placed on administrative
leave after euthanizing a soldier's dog that wasn't scheduled to be put down.

County officials say the dog was recently brought over from Afghanistan
by a soldier who had returned from his tour of duty.

The dog, "Target," was featured by Oprah Winfrey for heroism after
saving soldiers from a suicide bomber.

2. What a punch in the gut.
"Administrative leave?" Send that "employee" to Afghanistan in the dog's place!
