Biden Administration Denies Dogs Were Left Behind In Afghanistan By U.S., Kabul Rescue Group Blames CDC Rules

Following criticism that the Biden administration allegedly left U.S. Military contract dogs in Afghanistan during its disastrous withdrawal from the country, the Pentagon on Tuesday denied that any dogs were left behind.

“To correct erroneous reports, the U.S. military did not leave any dogs in cages at Hamid Karzai International Airport, including the reported military working dogs,” Department of Defense (DOD) spokesman John Kirby said in a statement. “Photos circulating online were animals under the care of the Kabul Small Animal Rescue, not dogs under our care.”
