Poor widdle guy...


So there are two puppies that wander around the Musa Khel DC. One is super timid and starts screaming and yelping the moment it thinks you're chasing it... the other one runs from people but at least doesn't cry about it. So, we chased it, caught it, cleaned it (with shaving cream), made it a house (complete with an MRE heater under the 'floor' for a furnace), fed it, and pet it a bit. And after he slept for a bit, we'd found we made a fast friend.



While we were sleeping, he had apparently sneaked into our room and cuddled up next to SSG Roberts... who later rolled over on him by accident... but that's beside the point.






It was neat to see how fast his attitude changed toward us once he figured out that we like dogs... which is a bit different than the sentiment afforded them by the Afghan soldiers and police...
