Craig Grossi, a Marine doing intelligence work for a RECON unit —the most elite fighters in the Corps—in a remote part of Afghanistan, tells his story of time in the country, surviving a rocket attack, adopting a scruffy local dog "Fred" and smuggling him out of the country. But the story of "Craig & Fred" is a coming home from war story of TBI, PTSD, lost friends, and new experiences. It is honest and inspiring. Host Jim Fausone finds this one of the best reads of the year.
