The Dog Files is sorry to have to bring you such sad news today. Our heart goes out to Captain Matt Taylor and all the Marines that spent time with Alice. Here is the earlier story from the Spring.
— Kenn Bell
Alice, a stray dog that was discovered in bad shape in Afghanistan and was quickly adopted by a group of U.S. Marines and made their unofficial mascot, has died 3 months after arriving in Indiana.
Alice was brought home to Lebanon, Indiana by her owner, Captain Matt Taylor who was able to do so thanks to the students at Lebanon Middle School who helped raise the money for Alice’s trip.
Taylor said that the dog appeared tired and when she was taken to the vet for overnight care, Alice died the same night of massive liver failure.
Though it’s still uncertain as to what caused the dog’s sudden death, what is certain however, is that Alice will be sorely missed by the Marines who came to love her and relied on her to help them ease their pain and loneliness.
Rest in peace sweetheart
This is so sad… but at least he was able to live out his days with people who loved him!
my thoughts exactly. whether it’s for 2 days, 2 months, 2 years or 20 years, every animal should be able to know peace and love when they leave this world. this sweet girl brought a military unit together and then a community together. she achieved more in life than she ever could know. may she rest in peace.
still can’t believe it I just got a $829.99 iPad2 for only $103.37 and my mom got a $1499.99 HDTV for only $251.92, they are both coming with USPS tomorrow. I would be an idiot to ever pay full retail prices at places like Walmart or Bestbuy. I sold a 37″ HDTV to my boss for $600 that I only paid $78.24 for. I use BidsNéw.com
rest in peace baby xxx
So sorry for the loss of this precious dog. Thank you Matt and all the Marines instrumental in taking care of this sweet baby!
Rest in Peace dear friend.
