CDC grants request for military vet’s dog to stay in the US, reunite with family

Staff Sgt. AJ Karrish has pleaded with local officials and the CDC in previous days to keep Harley, a dog who he befriended while deployed in the Middle East, from being sent back to Jordan due to a paperwork error.

The dog was detained at John F. Kennedy International Airport. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has signed a commitment with Long Island-based Paws of War to keep a veteran’s companion dog in the United States.
