Kevin And Mercy
“Mercy and Lt. Col. Kevin Banks met while Kevin was stationed in Afghanistan. Banks, a radiologist, first met Mercy when she was flown into his station as a patient. Due to her breed, when she was found wandering the streets, the military personnel assumed she was a working dog. Banks was to use his skills to search for a hidden microchip in case she was chipped already and the veterinarian team simply could not find it. After much research, it was ruled that Mercy was not a working dog and was a stray. Kevin could not bear to see her returned to a life on the street where she would undoubtedly meet a horrible demise or be put down and immediately began trying to save her. She lived and worked with Kevin for weeks while he researched ways for her to get home.”
