...You are Absolutely Right, Rene! Throwing an Innocent animal out of a Helicopter, was NOT a Good Idea. In My view...It was a Great Idea!! A Risk, they were sure to make it Safe. I misdescribed the Dog as a Puppy. Actually, He was a Young Dog. Makes No difference Here, excepting for the fact that Trucco had saved the Dog, just moments before he was to be filleted into steaks. Being at the right place, at the right time. For what these brave men would go through in a Day, they deserve to do something Monumental. Their intent was Not Cruel. They wished to Do something special. There are dogs that Parachute with their Handlers. And there are Rangers who were Scared at their First Jump. Our Dog is 'Airborn Qualified'! Who said Buckandahalf was Scared? Hell, he wanted to go Back and do it Again!! Besides all that...all of us needed a reason to Celebrate! And, I probably Ate his brother for Lunch, or was it 'Rat'! I can Imagine the Fear. the little Dog experienced, sitting in a Cage, waiting, hearing other Dogs being Slaughtered!!
