slickswitch: Injured and alone in no man’s land. He’s terrified. Shells exploding around him. Dirt and debris flying everywhere.

Then…out of the smoke and chaos comes a dog. A freaking dog. A dog in no man’s land.

This dog starts pulling on his helmet.

It’s a game to this damn dog.

The soldier, already weak from a shrapnel hit, tries desperately to hold on to what little protection he has left. The dog, growling and tugging, wrenches it free and runs back into the smoke and the chaos.
