When Craig Grossi arrived in Afghanistan's Sangin District by helicopter it was under the cover of night.
When the sun came up, Taliban fighters attacked his unit, and Grossi spent days just trying to stay alive.
"It was a different kind (of fighting) than we'd ever seen," Grossi told The Dodo. "It was pretty fierce for a couple of days, and I was so preoccupied defending myself."
Finally, the fighting subsided and Grossi was able to look around. "We were in a region no (Americans) had been in years," Grossi said. As he looked around he spotted a dog "with a big goofy head and little legs."
