I wouldn't want to bring back Boots with me. Interestingly enough, I believe that dogs and cats can be brought back if you go through the proper channels, which includes buying them about a $1000 plane ticket.
But Boots was already too old to get the wild dog out of her. She would let me pet her, but it was more like she was humoring me than actually wanting human companionship -- you know, like most cats. She barked all night at anything that moved, and the rest of the guys would have shot her in a heartbeat if I didn't forbid it. The new Lt. said he'd take care of her, but I'm wondering if he didn't already "take care of her".
And yes, she ate pork like there was no tomorrow. When I first got there she would wolf down anything from an MRE in about 5 seconds. She was a lot fatter and pickier by the time we left. So if nothing else, I know that I made one poor animal happier for a month and a half.
