That's wonderful! Even if it's too late for the National program, maybe one of the Florida specialty clubs could do something locally? Janice In a message dated 6/19/2007 7:52:18 A.M.

He flew with his dog to the National in Albany,Ore. ,for those of you who were there. Isn't it nice to see him trying to do something for another Service GSD and owner. I had to inform him it's too late this year ,of course,but hope that he can do it next year. He's stationed in Florida,and I told him I would help him find a GSDCA member in his area to help him with the nomination. All the Service dogs have been remarkable,but But Mizu and Kidd were really special. Helen Miller Fisher Hi Helen, This is Kidd with K-9 Mizu. I was honored with the award a few years back. A little update , Mizu and myself returned from a classified mission to Iraq recently. I was wondering if there was time to nominate one of the other handler's K-9s I worked with around Baghdad?
