A heartwarming story of a stray dog and a U.S. Marine who met under
the unlikeliest circumstances in Afghanistan--and who changed each
other's lives forever. As part of an elite team of Marines, Craig
Grossi was sent on his most dangerous assignment to the Sangin
District of Afghanistan. He expected to face harsh conditions and
violence from Taliban fighters. What he didn't expect was to meet a
stray dog, with a big goofy head and little legs--a dog all on his
own, filthy and covered in bugs, in a bomb-ridden district, but who
carried himself with confidence. And even though the Marines have a
rule against approaching strays, Craig couldn't help but offer some
food and a pat--and was shocked when the dog wagged his tail. From
that moment on, they were inseparable; whether out on missions or
back at the base, the dog named Fred went along. When the time came
for Craig to leave Afghanistan, he knew that Fred had to leave with
him no matter what. And as Craig tried to get acclimated to
civilian life, Fred was there for him. This book tells the
inspiring story of two friends who ultimately rescued each other,
and the stubborn positivity and love that continue to shape their
world.
