"
Lex has had two tours in Iraq," Jerome Lee said. "He's been through a lot, and we just want to get Lex
home to our family and let him have a happy life." It is the first time a working dog has been granted retirement to live with a handler's family.

"While we were there, sitting by the fire one night, I saw an extraordinary-looking dog that appeared to have
two noses. I was sober at the time, and then I remembered the story that the legendary explorer
Colonel Percy Fawcett came back with in 1913 of seeing such strange dogs in the Amazon jungle", explains fellow British Colonel John Blashford-Snell. The double-schnoz phenomenon has been documented in other
species, and has even been
studied,
dramatized, and
synthesized in humans. But a clue has recently been discovered in Bolivia that hints at not just a random mutation, but what might have once been a multi-snouted dog breed.

Poor, poor Wiley the dog. One Spring day, she got out of her yard and wandered aimlessly for a while. Wanting to help the lost animal find some direction, some vandals thoughtfully
spray-
painted her. Tragically, poor Wiley has since had to admit her painful secret to the world. She isn't
literate. Forced to admit her shameful problem, hopefully she'll get some
help.
