UPDATE: The Pentagon on Tuesday refuted claims that U.S. Military contract dogs were left behind in cages at the Hamid Karzai International Airport. Instead, they acknowledged that personal pets might have been left behind.
“The U.S. priority mission was the evacuation of U.S. citizens, SIV [participants in a special visa program] and vulnerable Afghans,” said Defense spokesman Eric Pahon. “However, to correct erroneous reports, the U.S. military did not leave any dogs in cages at Hamid Karzai International Airport, to include the reported ‘military working dogs.'”
