It was just a stray dog. That was what the other soldiers kept telling me because I started feeding it scraps. It was not my fault that I could not bear to see an animal going hungry.
It was just a stray dog. However, as the days became weeks I am pretty sure we were really bonding.
It was just a stray dog. The day our base got hit by a car bomb the dog was the one that came to drag me and my colleagues to safety.
This was no stray dog, not anymore. This was my dog, Hero.

Aw, Angie. This makes me think of a phrase something like, you get what you give in life. The soldier fed and took care of the dog, so when he needed to pulled out after enemy fire, the dog was there for him and his buddy. Like it was fate 🙂

Basically the soldier found a friend who repaid him for his act of kindness. I am sure it was fate that intervened. Thanks for reading.

They probably do. I am more of a cat person, but then the cat would not save you from a car bomb. Thanks for reading.
