POSTED: 9:49 am EDT September 27, 2005

A dog that served as the mascot for the 3rd Battalion, 25th Marine Regiment based out of Brook Park, will soon arrive in the United States.The dog, named Beans, is set to arrive this week. He got his name because Cpl. Jeffrey Boskovitch, who was killed in August in Iraq, bought the mixed-breed dog for a quarter and three jelly beans.

A 5 On Your Side bank account was set up at Key Bank to help bring Beans home. Boskovitch's mother said she wants to hug the last thing that her son hugged before he was killed in Iraq.
