Heiress helps Marine get dogs across the country

There are few things that can touch your heart like a family pet. As anyone who has owned a pet can tell you, they become a member of the family, and losing one can create a monumental loss. However, it can be even worse when that separation is caused by outside forces beyond our control.

According to reports from several North Carolina news outlets, Staff Sergeant Andrew Morales of the United States Marine Corps was recently relocated from Southern California to Camp Lejeune in North Carolina this month. While making all of the travel plans for his family, he discovered that his two dogs would not be allowed to make the trip.

The reason was because the two Anatolian Shepherd dogs are too large to be allowed onto the size of planes that fly out of his local airport. The dogs had returned with Morales from Afghanistan, so leaving them behind would have been nearly impossible. Because of this, he reached out to a rescue league for help.

On the Wings of Angels relayed the information on its Facebook page and was met with the kindness of a stranger. Helen Rosburg, the heiress of Wrigley Gum, came across the story and decided to do something about it – namely charter a jet across the country to make sure the family and dogs were able to stay together.

While this is a small thing for the heiress, it changed the life of Morales and his family. By creating a personal review on a site like Radaris, this story can be made public.
