There was a true story about a group of soldiers during World War II. They were stationed in a small town in France. One of the soldiers, named Jack, found a stray dog. Instead of chasing it away, he took it in and named it Buddy. Buddy quickly became the mascot of the unit. He would accompany the soldiers on their patrols, often alerting them to potential dangers. One day, during a particularly dangerous mission, Buddy's barking warned the soldiers of an approaching enemy ambush. Thanks to Buddy, many lives were saved. This long, true story of the bond between the soldiers and Buddy became a legend among the military.
