26 parts Ongoing MatureBefore the outbreak, before the legend of War Dog took root, she was just Diane Salvino - a fierce, resilient girl clawing her way out of a broken home in South Waco, Texas. Desperate to escape, she enlisted in the military, where grit and rage transformed her into one of the deadliest black ops operatives of her generation.
But fate had other plans. An injury pulled her from the front lines, and Diane found herself trading combat gear for scrubs, working as a nurse to make ends meet. One night, while singing for tips at a dingy bar, she caught the eye of Joel Miller-a rugged single dad with a weary smile. Love blossomed unexpectedly, and soon Diane wasn't just a soldier or a survivor - she was a wife, a mother to Joel's daughter Sarah, and a woman finally finding peace.
Eight years later, that peace is shattered and the woman once known as Diane Salvino Miller fades away; replaced by the hardened myth of War Dog. A legend forged from grief, fury, and a soul set on survival.
