Fighting bureaucratic red tape may be the biggest fight of her life for U.S. veteran Megan Leavey.
Former Marine Corporal Megan Leavey of Rockport, New York, was severely injured in Iraq with a German Shepherd, Sergeant Rex, when an IED exploded during the pair's second tour of duty.
Injured Sergeant Rex is ten years old and may soon be put down because he can no longer serve the U.S. Military. Not if Megan can help it. She wants to save Sergeant Rex's life by adopting him.
"He's done his duty. It's time for him to relax," Leavey says. "This is not (the Marines) first priority," Leavey admits, "A lot of times it gets lost in the shuffle." "It's life or death," Leavey says for her former partner.
