Sarbi Leaves Afghanistan and Arrives in Dubai
After a fourteen month absence in the wilds of Afghanistan, Sarbi the Australian Army Explosive Detection Dog is on her way home. In the first phase of her redeployment back to Australia Sarbi will be working toward meeting Australian Quarantine Inspection Service (AQIS) requirements for entry into Australia. Strict quarantine requirements set by AQIS for all animals entering Australia means she will spend the next six months in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
