More confirmation that government is the problem, not the solution:

A dog that fought off a suicide bomber in Afghanistan, saving the lives of several US soldiers, was euthanized by mistake by animal shelter staff in Arizona.

An investigation was underway Tuesday into why Target was put to sleep at the Pinal County Animal Care & Control center. An unnamed employee was placed on administrative leave for failing to follow procedures.

The shepherd-mix dog was picked up last Friday after going missing from its owner Sgt. Terry Young’s home in the San Tan Valley area, southeast of Phoenix.

These are the same people, government workers, who are groping you at the airport, bailing out Fannie and Freddie, and botching our foreign policy on a 10-day trip to the Far East.
