DCflag - as it seems that you're army/ex-army from that ^ post - what's your view about the puppy kept in his room without permission ?
I'm not military or ex military, my oh is currently serving and I'm unaccompanied in my hometown as we aren't married. He is not allowed a dog however there are people who live in married quarters who bring their dogs to work, not that that is relevant as such haha
My personal opinion is it's perhaps been overlooked because it's seen as a benefit to him of some kind (perhaps a bit like therapy or they felt he needed the company or similar)
