A wonderful true story about a marine who finds a dog during a raid and decides to keep and raise the dog (though regulations say that no one is allowed a pet or a mascot or even to feed stray animals). The hardships these two face as human and animal are heartbreaking and what they have to go through to keep Lava secret and hidden from top brass. It makes you realize just how much those men and women go through over there and how even feeding the stray animals can brighten their day. This is a heart wrenching story on what true love can do to a person and how animals really can affect us for the better.
