More Description
In 2010, Sergeant Craig Grossi was doing intelligence work for Marine RECON in a remote part of Afghanistan. While on patrol, he spotted a young dog who didn't seem vicious or run in a pack like most strays they'd encountered. After eating a piece of beef jerky Craig offered, the dog began to follow him and a life-changing friendship was forged.
Fred not only stole Craig's heart; he won over the RECON fighters, who helped Craig smuggle the dog into heavily fort-ified Camp Leatherneck. With the help of a crew of DHL workers, a vet, and a military dog handler, Fred eventually made it to Craig's family in Virginia.
When Craig returned to the U.S., it was Fred's turn to save the marine from the battlefield demons he carried. Today, Craig and Fred are touching lives nationwide.
