Army Spc. Brandon Garrison’s name has become infamous since he was exposed for lying to the family of his fallen colleague, Sgt. Christopher Wilson, in order to get attention and accolades after returning home.

After he was unmasked as a fraud, the charity that donated a service dog to Garrison has taken the dog back.

“In light of everything we’ve discovered, this dog never should have been given to [Garrison],” said Paul Chapa, a founder of Food Industry Serving Heroes.

Food Industry Serving Heroes spent a year trying to get Ralfie back, but when they threatened Garrison with legal action he relented and returned the dog.

For years, Garrison claimed that he was by Sgt. Wilson’s side during his final moments before he bled out from a stomach wound. Other members of Garrison’s unit, however, revealed that Garrison was not present at Wilson’s death. Garrison hadn’t even seen combat.

Garrison’s story-telling earned him a spot on an HBO special and an exclusive interview with Stars and Stripes, but his status as a disabled military veteran won him a donated home and Boyskin Spaniel named Ralfie. While Garrison’s home is still his, Ralfie will now be placed with another military veteran.

The legitimacy of Garrison’s disabilities has been questioned due to media appearances in which Garrison doesn’t walk with his cane and testimony that he is “a compulsive liar.” However, his military records do make it clear that Garrison isn’t a healthy individual.

He supplied a Department of Veterans Affairs document showing he is rated as 70 percent disabled for anxiety disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder with depression, and he has a 10 percent disability rating for “residuals of traumatic brain injury.”

The Army determined PTSD and a borderline personality disorder made him unfit for duty following his Afghanistan deployment in 2007.’
