I was a Member of the 3/4 cavalry and became buddies with a wolfhound for one night. It was early feb.1968 during the Battle Of Hoc Mon. He made a very Big Inpression on me. The next Morning an officer came over and ordered him off my carrier. He said he was going to die. As with anyone,u would never forget this. He saluted me going off the track and said I was the last person he would ever talk to. I was covering him with my 50 caliber when he came upon a spider hole. The gook inside the hole shot and killed him. We killed the gook and I told the other soldiers to put him in my track.I took him to an open spot in the paddies for a dust off.I'll never forget leaving him there and looking back. Thinking the night before I was wishing I was him. He had 37 days left in that hell hole called Viet Nam..I salute all u wolfhounds. Your the Best...
