Cut and paste this in your e mail. I also posted it under miscellaneous.

This doesn't involve a dachsie, but is important to those of us who love animals. The
person who sent this to me is a friend's daughter, so I believe it's legit.

by the military he will be euthanized based on military policy which states:
such dogs after their years of service as military K-9 officers trained to
sniff out explosives and drugs are euthanized when they retire. In military
terms retire means euthanized. Even though
Robby's handler Shawn Mathey wants to adopt Robby, the military plans on
going ahead with the plan.

This story showed up in the Belgian Board. It is partially correct: Robby does exist, he is in the military, & he is nearing retirement.

However, the situation was apparently inflated somewhat. Robby is currently being treated for arthritis, & as his retirement approaches, he will be evaluated for aggressiveness (he is a security dog), & if he passes, he will be allowed to end his days with his handler. The head military person that got hit with all these e-mails did respond with a detailed letter to the Belgian Board, & said the retirement of military dogs is decided on a case-by-case method. He said that dogs that are too aggressive to be allowed in public are euthanized.

That makes sense.
