ST. LOUIS - A central Missouri family has been flooded with offers of 
assistance in its effort to bring a pet dog a soldier son adopted in Iraq to the 
United States.
Pfc. Jeremiah Smith adopted a stray he's calling Niki while on duty in Iraq. 
His parents, Don and Phyllis Smith, are working to get the dog shipped to 
their home west of Fulton. They already have five beagles, two cockatiels and a 
duck at the home, near Millersburg.
Don Smith, 46, said he's gotten pledges from strangers to cover the $1,000 or 
more it will cost to get Niki to America after the St. Louis Post-Dispatch 
first reported on the effort. He said he'll donate surplus funds to two 
organizations that help animals overseas and has asked callers to do the same.
