SMITHTOWN, NY — Army Specialist Taylor, while in the Middle East, found a dog near death. She is trying to provide freedom to that dog, as she is looking to bring him home to the United States with the help of Paws of War, a Nesconset-based nonprofit.

With July 4 around the corner, Paws of War wants to help the specialist in time for the holiday when we celebrate our freedom as a nation.

"We want to help Spc. Taylor bring her dog to America, but we can only do it with the help of our patriots," said Dereck Cartright, a disabled veteran who is the stateside logistics coordinator at Paws of War, via news release. "Freedom doesn't come free, even in this case. For her dog to have freedom we will need people to help us with this mission. Even the smallest donations will add up to help make this happen."
