The article "Dog lost in Afghan battle returns" in BBC made me happy and sad at the same time.
It reports that a female sniffer dog called Sabi who has joined the Australian army in Afghanistan and has lost 14 months during the attack in in Uruzgan province in September 2008 was found by a US soldier. The fact that the dog is in good condition indicate that during her missing someones must have taken care of her.
After reading this article I feel happy about Sabi who can return unscathed from the war. Moreover, despite a scarcity of food and the difficulty of living in war time, some people were still kind to a lost dog. This reflects the mercy that lies in human hearts. However, the fact that due to political conflict, people need to kill each other also make me sad. If the one that has lost during the ambush was a soldier I wonder if he could have come back uninjured. People usually value human life the most, compared with other animal life; however, in wartime the main targets of attack are human.
