I happened upon this slideshow tribute to Target last night and a minute into it I was wrecked. As tough as it has been to read the news and public outcry about his passing, this really hits home. Let us hope that another never suffers his fate.
What an incredibly moving, beautiful tribute to a beautiful dog. Target lived such an amazing and full life, and he did not deserve the end he got. My heart aches for his family and their loss. The World lost when Target died, and as the video said, my his legacy, his love, and the beauty of his life and Heart continue to live on.
Peace and Love, Target! And our prayers to your family that they may heal.
Target was a special dog in so many ways. I am associated with the young lady, who, at her fiancee’s request raised the funding to bring not only Target, but her puppies and Rufus home to the soldiers that Rufus, Target, and Sasha saved in Aghanistan. I live in Arizona and was hoping to meet Target one day. She truly was a hero in many ways and now she is an angel helping other animals to get rescued for their soldiers. If you have not done so, please read Anna’s story on the Puppy Rescue Mission Facebook page. She is determined to help soldiers and this is how she has chosen to do so. She has raised nearly $80 thousand in 8 months through facebook so that the organizations that do the rescues can continue helping the soldiers. She continues in Memory of Target and for the troops fighting for our freedoms.

My heart just aches over this whole thing. It’s just so tragic and senseless! Target deserved so much better!

Tragic Story ! At least he found True Love. That can never be taken away from him !
May God bless this family and give them comfort. The world is a little more sad without your sweet courageous soul. I am so sorry for your loss.
It’s a shame what happened to this glorious dog. Love, sadness, anger … I need therapy now. Gotta go hug my dogs now.
PLEASE, everybody, sign and share/crosspost this petition and ask others to do so as well, thank you- to finally make some more than necessary changes by public pressure and to make such tragic things never happen again:

This story makes me so sad, Target really did deserve better.
We saved this one in hopes we’d be ‘ready’ -
Not sure we were but….
Just wrong wrong wrong…
