Do you have a pet? If so, you know how much a pet can become a part of your family. Imagine if you had to move and could no longer keep your pet. What would happen to it? Would you be able to find it a safe home with friends, family or someone else or would you be forced to take it to the pound or shelter, not knowing whether it would be adopted or have to be euthanized?Willie loves his German shepherd, Cracker, who is his best friend. But when his family moves into an apartment that doesn’t allow dogs or pets of any kind, Willie has a month to find Cracker a new home. He has begged people, his parents placed an ad in the newspaper, but no one wants a big dog. Willie even took Cracker to the pound, but in the end he couldn’t leave her there. Willie noticed an ad in the paper not far down the column from his, placed by the US Army, looking for German shepherds to go to Vietnam. While it breaks his heart to lose Cracker, Willie decides that the Army might be the best place for her, especially since Cracker will be the best dog in Vietnam.
During basic training, Cracker is teamed up with Rick, a young dog handler. While he isn’t Willie, Cracker and Rick soon become an inseparable team. Will Rick and Cracker be able to make it through the war and return safely home to the USA?
