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.
