I'd have him!!
I'm sure there will be a queue of people offering him a home!
TBH I am surprised one of the soldiers hasn't taken him.

I'm sure there are similar stories about dogs being brought home from a war zone. I'm sure people will find a way to bring him back into this country.

There are other stories and funds have been offered and the powers that be have said NO!
We as a rescue even offered back up at one stage for a dog in a foreign country living on a tip, and the powers that be again said NO! so I think it very doubtful

I don't get it, if they love him, why doesn't one the soldiers or somebody from one of the soldiers families want him? Maybe it is just me but if I fell in love with a dog like that, I would want to give him a forever home myself.
Besides, I can't help it, I worry about possible dormant diseases. Honestly, besides rabies and parvo etc, I don't know what diseases or worms an Afghanistan dog can carry, if anybody else does, I would very much like to know?

Tbh its not the finding him a home would be a problem I suspect but the cost of quarantine etc. And I do wonder how fair it would be to put a dog into 6 months quarantine after he has had 5 years of virtually roaming free?

Good point, I would worry about how my girls would handle spending months in quarantine and yet they're used to having a day now and then without to much action. I'm sure they would survive but still. So, as you said, this dog have been used to a whole different and much more independent life and to go from that to 6 months in quarantine... I'm sorry but I have mixed feelings about the thought of that.
About diseases, take Leishmaniasis for instance, as far as I understand, it is not really contagious, from dog to dog so to say, but it can lay dormant in your dog for years before it develops. <u>This disease does not occur naturally in Sweden</u> but a number of dogs "rescued" from Spain, have developed that disease, sometimes after having spent years in Sweden and the sand fly that have transmitted the disease to those dogs, lives in Spain.
If a non contagious disease can lay dormant for more than 6 months (= quarantine time), maybe a contagious disease also can do it?
