She\u2019s being saved thanks to Maj. Steven Hutchison, who adopted her, and SPCA International&#8217;s Operation Baghdad Pups. But Hutchison himself won\u2019t be part of the homecoming: He was killed by a roadside bomb May 10 outside Basra, just three months before he was supposed to return home to Scottsdale, Ariz. When she reaches the U.S., Laia will live with a friend&#8217;s family instead.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>We here at This Ain&#8217;t Hell love us some dogs, so we&#8217;re happy to report that the major&#8217;s troops are taking care of this little cutie and that we get to see something good come out of this sad story.<\/p>\n<p>The dog was rescued by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.baghdadpups.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Operation Baghdad Pups<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You probably remember Major Steven Hutchison, the Vietnam Veteran who lost his life in Iraq this &hellip; <a title=\"MAJ Hutchinson&#8217;s dog headed home\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=11062\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">MAJ Hutchinson&#8217;s dog headed home<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[75,18],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11062","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blue-skies","category-support-the-troops"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11062","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=11062"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11062\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=11062"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=11062"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=11062"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
