The life of the working animal

Another day of work the smell of leather and steam in the Humvee we go down the road from the base. My companion is my best friend Dan who has trained me since I was a dog in the pound. We were on a mission and I was to sniff out where the package was. A nice simple job I have done tons of times shouldn't be difficult or so I thought. We get to the location and I start working then out of nowhere we start taking fire and I mean heavy fire. Dan radios back up on our location then I hear the hum of a uh-60 black-hawk. The spin of the Gatling gun went off for 10 seconds and then silence and then it left. And I had to get to work sniffing out any contraband 5 minutes ago and I heard rustling behind a bush. Then out of nowhere a grenade lands close to me and I take a somewhat blunt force and I am pushed into a wall Dan yells “Get Down” and starts shooting. Then my entire team starts shooting and then it is just a fire fight until it is over we then extract because I am injured.
