NESCONSET, NY — Paws of War, a Nesconset-based nonprofit, is aiming to help a United States soldier, who is overseas, relocate the dog she found back home to the U.S., according to a news release. U.S. Army Pfc. Kata found a little puppy on the side of the road in the snow while it was freezing out. She sprung into action to try and save the dog, but really it ended up saving her, according to Paws of War. "When our soldiers bond with pets when they are stationed overseas, it's a good thing," said Dereck Cartright, a disabled veteran who is the stateside logistics coordinator at Paws of War, via news release. "It helps them get through some difficult times. We are always happy to help them bring their pet back home with them." Paws of War is seeking donations to help Pfc. Kata rescue Quince, the dog she found. Click here to read the full story.
