After he departed with his unit, employees of the Union Passenger Terminal decided to ship Brownie to him, but the dog was lost while they were taking her to a veterinary for a health certificate. Luckily Brownie was located through the Herald-Express after a reader, Mrs. Leona Halliday of Palm Springs, posted a $25 reward, and also paid air freight charges to have the dog shipped by TWA air freight to Philadelphia.
