Snuggles needs more people to sign the petition by tomorrow.

[Brendan M. Jones 🇺🇸 @brendanmjones]

Lucy and I are deploying again. One final mission for my old dog. To Arizona. We're bringing that #SaveLucy energy from the Shenandoah Valley to the desert to #SaveSnuggles.

Next Saturday will be Save Snuggles Day in Tucson. Lucy's return to the desert.

Veterans, bikers, dog lovers, anyone in the area - join us. It's going to be a positive demonstration to celebrate Lucy's release and RESPECTFULLY push officials in Pima County to let Snuggles go home.

We want this to be a celebration. We are the good guys and we will show it.

Lucy will be there, as long as my old car makes it. So should you. More details to come as we work them out.

Dear Laura Conover (@PimaCountyAtty),

My name is Brendan Jones, and this is Lucy. Ten years ago, Lucy saved my life during the war against ISIS. In return, I brought her home with me. While you may not be familiar with her story, millions of people around the world are.

We are writing to you today out of deep concern for a case in Pima County involving a family dog named Snuggles. Snuggles, an Anatolian Shepherd, has been placed on a court-ordered euthanasia list following an incident in which he bit a family member. At the time, the dog was agitated and acting to defend his home and family during a coyote incursion on the property. The entire family, including the individual who was bitten, is devastated by the possibility of losing him.

Snuggles is a large working breed traditionally used as a livestock guardian. At the time of the incident, he was an intact male who had not yet reached the appropriate age for neutering. I have personal experience with this breed, having used Anatolian Shepherds to protect my own flocks of sheep. It is well established that neutering intact males of this breed often produces a noticeable and positive change in temperament, reducing reactivity and certain aggressive behaviors.

Snuggles has now reached an age where neutering is both appropriate and recommended. I am confident that, once neutered, any concerns about future aggression would be substantially alleviated.

Before we consider raising additional public awareness about this case, we wanted to bring it directly to your attention in the hope that a reasonable resolution can be reached quietly and without unnecessary scrutiny. We respectfully ask that you personally review the matter. We believe common sense and compassion can still prevail here.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Very respectfully,
Brendan Jones and Lucy, “America’s Dog”

People keep asking, so I've got to answer. No, I don't anticipate going to jail. We learned at the hearing that the deal I signed did not result in the prosecution dropping the charges. It simply deferred them for 12 months and let me bring Lucy home. The Commonwealth Attorney retained prosecutorial discretion, meaning she can try to charge me again, drop charges, or reduce charges. All things are on the table.

I didn't like it. I thought I was agreeing to have charges dropped in a year, but I had no choice but to agree to the deal, even according to the new terms. I had to get Lucy out of there. I can envision a scenario where 12 months pass and the prosecution decides to get charges to stick against me out of the light of public scrutiny. I can also envision a scenario where the prosecutor just wants this to go away and drops them.

I cannot imagine that the judge would send me to jail at that point over an incident that occurred entirely within my own yard and was over in seconds, so for the time being, anyone talking like that's a fait accompli needs to cool their jets a bit.

We'll cross that bridge when we get there.

Yes, that was my reason for feeling a sense of disquiet mingled with my relief at getting Lucy home. I wanted the threat of jail time to no longer be hanging over my head. I've gotten so accustomed to facing charges that carry jail time since we moved here, that I'm just so worn out by it. But it was not to be.

I've had a security clearance for two decades now. I haven't been using it actively for a while. I'm not doing anymore overseas tours. I work from home now on my own private sector business, which gives me the chance to spend time with those I love the most.

I've always kept that clearance in my back pocket though, as a security blanket if things ever go sideways economically.

After all the warzone tours and hardship, it would be a shame to risk losing that over a brief collar slip in my own yard, a weaponized technicality if ever there was one.

I'm not going to dwell on it. It is out of my hands now. I encourage everyone who has supported me and Lucy to let this go too. Just pray for outright dismissal. If things change, I will let you know.

On to the next: #SaveSnuggles

I'm too spent to offer much of an update, but she's home. She's where she needs to be. There was one final twist, which I will tell you about later. It might be meaningful down the road and it is mingling my relief with a sense of disquiet. But she's home. Thank God.

[Brendan M. Jones 🇺🇸 @brendanmjones]

Court in just over an hour.

Thank you God, for making me low, because that is where I found you. Be with my dog. If it be your will that Lucy is reunited with her family, make it so. If not, give us the strength to endure and to better discern your will for our lives.

Amen.

[MAGAMoeMoe 🇺🇸 @mcanter1098]

Today should be the day to let Lucy feel the loving arms of her family wrap around her. Praying she comes home and doesn't have to spend another weekend in a cage, unjustly. #SaveLucy we are with you @Herb_Minstrel and @brendanmjones

[REALDCWATCHER ⭐️⭐️⭐️ @REALDCWATCHER]

Please Pray for #SaveLucy Lu today and her veteran mom and dad @brendanmjones and @Herb_Minstrel to include @JenniferEvn22
#SaveSnuggles mom

Court is sometime today for LUCY and they will be facing the Judge about next steps.

Please ask God to hold and comfort them through each second of this day. Take the anxiety away from them and let them feel his loving arms around them.

In Jesus' name Amen 🙏

[Sara Gonzales @SaraGonzalesTX]

Please pray for Lucy’s return to her family today. 🙏🏼

[Brendan M. Jones 🇺🇸 @brendanmjones]

If this order isn’t signed today, Lucy will spend at least another day in a cell.

I spend yet another day in a courtroom. My sons will miss the final day of VBS - the one everyone has been looking forward to, with sprinklers, slip-and-slides, and squirt guns. And I won’t be able to attend my daughter’s ballet recital.

This is a great deal of unnecessary hardship, especially since I’ve already signed the deal. Yet this entire ordeal - nearly two months now - has caused far too much avoidable suffering over an innocent incident that took place in my own yard and was over in seconds.

I don’t blame malice. I blame procedural quirks, bureaucratic inefficiencies, and an overly heavy-handed government.

It’s no wonder C.S. Lewis imagined the demon Screwtape disguised as a senior bureaucrat and Hell as a mundane, if gruesome, administrative system.

The shelter closed an hour ago. No Lucy today.

That means the county has now held her for at least a full week after I signed a deal I didn’t like, all because I convinced myself it was the fastest way to get her out.

Time was on my side. The prosecution’s case was becoming increasingly unpopular. Leaders of the Virginia GOP were reaching out. The dam was about to break. A little more time, I thought, and that popular outrage would be too much for the Commonwealth to keep pushing a case it should never have taken up in the first place.

But time wasn’t on Lucy’s side. She’s eleven years old. She had already been locked in that concrete kennel for seven long weeks. I had to get her out. That was the only thing that mattered.

It still hasn’t happened.

And tonight that leaves me sitting here, staring at the empty spot on the rug by the kitchen table where she should be curled up, wondering who the real enemy is in all this.

Is it the DA? No. Not personally. She’s just doing the job they pay her to do. She didn’t ask for this mess. In fact, she wrote the judge on Monday asking her to sign the order that would let Lucy come home.

Is it the neighbors? No. They’re not villains. They’re just sheep; mindless, easily spooked, moving in a mob that takes on the collective wisdom and virtue of its loudest, basest, and stupidest members. At the end of the day, they’re still sheep.

So who’s the wolf?

There isn’t one.

It’s something far worse than a wolf. It’s a Leviathan; a cold, sprawling tangle of laws and technicalities and a government that’s far too eager to shove its nose into places it was never invited. A machine that grinds slowly, impersonally, and without mercy, even when every human being involved knows the right thing to do.

That kind of enemy is the one diligent little sheepdogs like Lucy and Snuggles were never built to fight. Their loyalty, their courage, their sharp instincts - none of these things matter against paperwork and policy and the slow, soulless turning of bureaucratic gears.

And that’s what is on my mind as another day turns to night and Lucy remains in her cramped, little cell.

The real enemy is something that we have created by not being diligent guardians of our own government.
