We were too late...

When I got there, rocks were where they weren't supposed to be.

I whined as I ran to the place where I'd left them. They weren't there.

I followed their scent and it led me to a site where an IED had gone off.

Then, I was shipped off back to the states, back to the training center I'd been brought up in.

I stayed there for almost two weeks before someone standing by my kennel's gate got my attention.

I'd long since clawed off the gauze that was wrapped on my ear, revealing a bullet sized hole from the sniper.

"Hey Bullet," I heard a familiar voice say.

I perked up my ears and ran up to the gate.
