Nowzad hasn't added a story.
Rip-It's Soldier Savior says:
We started to see this puppy who would hang out at one of the
checkpoints that my Afghan Army partner force controlled.
We would see her every day on our patrols and one day we
brought a few leftovers to give to her.
It became a daily thing and part of our pre-mission routine.
Extra ammo? Check. Extra batteries? Check. Food for the puppy? Check.
But we couldn’t just forget our partner force friends. We get
free energy drinks here called “Rip It’s” and the Afghans go crazy
over them.
We usually took a few to give to our partner force just to
build rapport and be nice guys but we started packing a whole case
every day to ensure that the Afghan soldiers took care of her in our
absence and protected her from the other dogs.
It was the Afghans who named her Rip-it and the name stuck.
While we’ve known Rip-it she’s had a rock thrown at her, and
been bitten twice by other dogs.
Being a puppy in Afghanistan isn’t easy.
Our work was often less than glamorous and Rip-It was our
slice of cute furry happiness.
She was quite the morale raiser, and we don’t want to leave
her behind.
