In 2010 2010, Sergeant Craig Grossi was doing intelligence work for Marine RECON-the most elite fighters in the Corps-in a remote control part of Afghanistan. While on patrol, he noticed a young puppy ‘with a huge goofy head and little hip and legs’ who didn’t seem vicious or operate in a pack like most about Craig & Fred: A Sea, A Stray Pup, and exactly how They Rescued ONE ANOTHER strays they’d encountered. After eating a bit of beef jerky Craig offered-against military regulations-the dog started to adhere to him. ‘Looks as if you made a friend,’ another Marine yelled. Grossi noticed, ‘Looks such as a ‘Fred.” The name trapped, and a beautiful, life-changing camaraderie was forged.

Fred not only stole Craig’s heart; he earned within the RECON fighters, who helped Craig smuggle your dog into intensely fortified Camp Leatherneck inside a duffel bag-risking jail and Fred’s existence. By using a staff of DHL employees, a sympathetic vet, and a military pet handler, Fred eventually made it to Craig’s family members in Virginia.
