NEW ENGLAND – Pet Stop of Northern New England, supplier of Pet Stop, Pet Fence Systems, along with Pet Stop Corporate is donating an underground fence system and its installation for “Hero” a 5 month-old Canaan dog from Iraq. The dog was sent to America by members of the 82nd Airborne who served with fallen Army Specialist Justin Rollins, who cared for the pooch in the war zone and died in a roadside bombing.
The story of Justin and his friend Hero was told on ABC’s “Good Morning America”, NBC’s “Today Show”, and CBS’s “The Early Show” over the Memorial Day weekend. Since then, Hero has grown into a friendly and playful pup that enjoys a run around the yard with the Rollins family.
“This pup has been through enough war to last a lifetime. We wanted to show our support of the war hero (Justin Rollins) that made Hero such a cherished member of the Rollins family, and provide the safety and security of our system”
says Terri Kyller, co-owner of Pet Stop of Northern New England. Furthermore, the President of Pet Stop Corporate,John Purtell, a Viet Nam veteran, was also a member of 82nd Airborne Unit – the same unit as Justin Rollins - and wanted to do something for the family of a fallen comrade.
Kyller, and Willows, have been providing pet containment solutions for over 15 years and teamed up with Pet Stop in 2003.
