Mimi, an Afghan hound puppy is coming to her new home to be reunited with the soldier who rescued her from a “burn pit,” thanks to the generosity of people who donated money to pay for the cost of transporting her.

Robert Misseri, a co-founder of Paws of War, a nonprofit organization that helps reunite soldiers with their dogs they befriended while serving overseas, said well over the $6,000 needed to bring Mimi to the United States was raised. Misseri said he and his volunteers are tallying the final numbers.

“Texans really kicked in big time,” Misseri said.

The person who comes to pick up the dog must be disguised to look like the locals, he said.

“If they see that it’s an American, that will tip off the bad guys.”

They risk their lives even just rescuing a dog.
