Navy couple faces nearly $11,600 bill to move pair of dogs

A Navy couple is under shock after coming to know that they need to bay a bill of nearly $12,000 to ship two beloved German shepherds to Guam, where they got transferred from Norfolk.

The transfer was somewhat unexpected because Kenneth, a petty officer second class and master-at-arms, and his wife had only been at Norfolk Naval Station, for about a year after returning from a stint in Bahrain. Most of the airliners in the US have stopped transporting large dogs.

They set up a GoFundMe account in hopes of defraying the cost of shipping the pair of eight-year-old dogs. By the last week of January, they’d raised almost $1,000.
