On the Iraq-Syria border,a pack of wild dogs circled American soldiers for food. The leader of the pack was a gray-and-white dog. The soldiers called him Nubs. Nubs was shaking and 1      able to stand. Brian Dennis looked closer and saw that there was a knife wound 2      his chest.

  Dennis couldn’t stand seeing the dog 3      He and his men immediately treated the wound,and gave Nubs oral medicine. Nubs 4      but was still in pain. The next day,the team had to 5      Ten days later,Dennis’ unit was back,and so was Nubs. He was still 6     ,but the men fed him and played with him.

Two days later,beyond Dennis’10     ,he saw Nubs just outside the outpost. The dog had tracked him across 70 miles of desert to 11      with the friend who had saved his life. From then on Nubs and the men slept in the same place,and ran around in the same ruins.

Until an order came down from above that they were not 12      to have pets,Dennis 13       to make sure the dog would continue to live a ( n) 14 life. So he quickly raised $ 4,000 from his family and friends to fly Nubs to 15    .

A month later,when Dennis and the dog were 16      in California,at first Nubs didn’t recognize the guy. 17       within minutes,the dog jumped into Dennis’ arms,jumping up again and again to 18      his friend’s face.
