The Taliban’a commander of Kabul airport tells us US troops let their service dogs free as they evacuated.
The dogs are being rounded up, and the Taliban plans to, in an ironic twist, put them back into service for the Islamic Emirate.
(No, they weren’t sentenced to death)
Someone also poured water into bowls and cut open dog food bags for the pooches, before the last US troops left.
We also saw a box full of dog toys and leashes, as well as a crate marked “Doni”
I did find one pupper at Kabul airport, but he was likely a stray. Very scared and evidently traumatized by all the shooting
Here is what the Taliban commander told us about the dogs on camera. Off camera: that they would put them to use, and that they would train those they could
If you would like to help save these dogs, write to @Zabehulah_M33 @suhailshaheen1
Both are senior Taliban representatives
