It is interesting that the story has been made public right now. I saw it on TV this morning.
I am thinking that the dog is still alive because they see his value as a prisoner of war. The Taliban does not have to respect what the dog is to know that the British Government has placed a value on him.
Maybe they want to trade him or use him in some way, but that only works if he is alive.
Tobi, you may not be the only one trying to rescue the dog. There may be a great many people out there who want to take him. There is a very strong animal welfare movement. It is not organized or actually united as a group, but any time something happens to animals it reacts very strongly. Look at how quickly petitions happen and even get results.
I think if the dog were dead they would have kept it quiet so now we just have to wait and hope for the best. Now that the public knows about it, the British Government can't ignore it either. Public opinion would be very much against them.
