Summary

In January 2006, soldier Brendan Poelaert and his military dog, Flapoor, were in the middle of combat in Iraq. Suddenly, a bomb exploded! The blast was so strong that Brendan passed out. When he woke up, his arm hung limp and broken by his side. Brendan wasn't interested in his arm, though. He wanted to know what had happened to Flapoor. When he finally spotted his dog, he saw that the powerful animal's chest was bleeding. Brendan knew he had to get help right away, or Flapoor would die. Would Brendan be able to save his canine partner's life?
