Puca The Pharaoh Hound Mixed

This is Puca, the 2 year old male Pharaoh Hound and Sloughi mixed breed from Arizona. PUCA was a US Army Mascot assigned to the 1st Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Detachment stationed in the Sinai, Egypt. He quickly won over the hearts of all the bomb technicians there and fortunately was able to be adopted and brought back to the US. His name is an acronym used in the EOD community for Pick Up, Carry Away. Weighing in at 65 pounds, he no longer fits his name. Photo sent by Josh.
