Stars and Stripes: Navy couple faces $11,600 bill to move pair of dogs from VA-Guam
Early last month, Kenneth and Emily Sanders learned the Navy was transferring them from Norfolk to Guam at the end of February.
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, Va., for about a year after returning from a stint in Bahrain.
But the real shock came weeks later when the couple learned how much it would cost to ship their two beloved German shepherds, Nautia and Phoenix, to Guam: $11,592.
