Geri Horner backs The Sun’s campaign to save veteran war dogs due to be put down

Military chiefs ruled Belgian Shepherds Kevin and Dazz cannot be re-homed over safety fears - despite saving thousands of lives in Afghanistan by sniffing out bombs

SPICE Girl Geri Horner has joined celebs backing The Sun’s campaign to stop two heroic war dogs being put down  —  as tens of thousands of readers join the fight.

Belgian Shepherds Kevin and Dazz saved thousands of lives in Afghanistan by sniffing out bombs, but we told last week military chiefs ruled they cannot be re-homed due to safety fears.

The retired dogs, both nine, face lethal injections, along with an ex-police dog called Driver.

But last night a change.org petition set up by SAS legend Andy McNab had over 319,000 signatures.

And Ginger Spice Geri, 45, lent her support, saying: “These dogs have given their lives to save others.

"They deserve the same love and kindness.”

TV’s Eamonn Holmes, 58, asked: “Where is the gratitude, the thanks the compassion or the logic?

"We can’t let them be cast aside like a piece of old worn-out kit.”

Kevin and Dazz have been working with trainees in Melton Mowbray, Leics, after leaving the front line.

Experienced handlers have volunteered to give them new homes.
