A Happy Ending
While Grossi was in battle he was hit by a rocket and suffered a brain injury. He almost never returned to see his friend Fred. He was hospitalized for some time, but he kept thinking about his dog. However, when he was finally released he began to worry and then soon spotted Fred playing with the DHL workers. Soon, Fred was almost ready to make the journey to his new home in the U.S. However, one last obstacle stood in his way. Grossi could not find a crate to ship him in. Fortunately, one day another Marine waved him down and said that he knew about Fred and offered his assistance. The other Marine was working in a unit that cared for dogs and was able to give Grossi a crate to use. Finally, Fred was on his way home. He arrived in New York City, and Grossi’s family picked him up from the airport. Three months later, Grossi also came home to join Fred. Now, he and Fred travel the country telling their story and they even have a book!
