Arriving to the USA in June was a small dog Leia which was rescued by a solider and which his troops sent home to his family as they knew that Major Hutchinson had been working on getting the small dog which he loved and befriended sent to the USA. Major Hutchinson was killed in Iraq by a roadside bomb and his troops in his honour followed through with what they felt their former leader was passionate about. General policy is that soliders are not allowed to adopt strays and Hutchinson defied orders to get rid of the dog and always protected it.
Leia’s new home will be with one of the members of “Team Force” which was the name Hutchinson called his troops and Hutchinson’s brother says he will be happy to visit her in Michigan when he visits there to see his parents. He made the decision for Leia to live with a “Team Force” member as he thought she might be happier living with a young family.
