The Marshall Legacy Institute and Qwest Communications announced Feb. 1 their expanded partnership to provide landmine-detection dogs in war-torn countries, with plans to involve Arizona schoolchildren in sending a new “hero dog” to Bosnia.

 Representatives of the institute, Qwest and Congress met on Capitol Hill to promote the work of MLI’s Children Against Mines Program (Champs).
