Summary:
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.
