While on patrol, he spotted a young dog with a big goofy head and little legs 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--against military regulations--the dog began to follow him. Looks like you made a friend, another Marine yelled. Grossi heard, Looks like a 'Fred.' The name stuck, and a beautiful, life-changing friendship was forged.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFred not only stole Craig's heart; he won over the RECON fighters, who helped Craig smuggle the dog into heavily fortified Camp Leatherneck in a duffel bag--risking jail and Fred's life. With the help of a crew of DHL workers, a sympathetic vet, and a military dog handler, Fred eventually made it to Craig's family in Virginia. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMonths later, when Craig returned to the U.S., it was Fred's turn to save the wounded Marine from Post-Traumatic Stress.
