Thank you so much for the reply.

Another letter I found from the government regarding Tippy, asked my grandfather if he wanted Tippy returned or the government would terminate him. An aunt told me that the handler of the dog asked my grandfather if he could keep Tippy, and my grandfather said yes. But I will check with the archives as well.

Thanks again, and great website!!
