It's a mundane but true story about Meghan Levy and her military dog Rex, trained in the Marines, on duty in Iraq and injured, as Meghan struggles to get Rex adopted after her retirement.
Megan Levy is played by Kate Mara, pictured below.
The dog Rex is a German Shepherd.
Why do you say Rex cured Meghan? See the spoiler and analysis below.
First of all, Meghan's family is unhappy, her parents divorced, her mother remarried, Meghan lived with her mother, but the mother-daughter relationship was estranged, and Meghan even went to a friend's house for Christmas.
Secondly, in high school, Meghan and her friend took drugs, and her friend died suddenly, but Meghan didn't die, which caused Meghan to feel guilty and give up on herself. After graduating from high school, I hid at home every day, but I was disgusted by my mother. Life has no purpose and no direction, I live for no reason, my only hobby is watching New York Yankees games.
It can be seen that Megan is a person with serious psychological trauma.
One day, seeing the poster of the U.S. military recruiting, in order to escape the useless reality, Megan jumped on the recruiting bus. He walked quite decisively, without even taking any luggage. Meghan's decision was life-changing.
When she first arrived in the army, Megan was very bad, because she was only trying to escape, and her purpose was not pure, resulting in a lack of subjective initiative. Sent to sweep the kennel for a week after a military violation. It was this week that Meghan found her purpose in life, the US military guide dog.
The U.S. military trains dogs to smell bombs, sniff landmines, and guide dogs are responsible for training and field leading dogs to perform tasks. Meghan felt the job was a good fit for her. Because Megan lacks interpersonal communication skills and does not like to deal with people, dog guides only need to deal with dogs. Goal, Meghan found her purpose in life for the first time. But the commander quickly poured a splash of cold water. The dog guides need the best soldiers, excellent physical test, and excellent shooting before they can apply. Why are the requirements so strict? Because the job of a dog guide is much more dangerous than that of the average soldier. For suspicious situations on the battlefield, first send military dogs to check. If the military dog makes a mistake, it is likely that the guide dog and the military dog will be killed first.
But Megan doesn't care so much, for the first time in her life, she has a clear goal. Let's move forward for the goal!
Through unremitting efforts, Meghan passed the physical fitness test and shooting test, and was able to enter the military dog division of the United States Marine Corps. The next step is to pair a military dog.
At that time, there was a dog in the department, Rex, who was rebellious. The original trainer bit him off six bones, and Megan also bit him.
Only this bully has no owner, the leader will give it to Megan, is it better to bite the butt than to break the bone?
Meghan went to the kennel with fear to meet Rex, who was proud at the time.
But then Rex was punished for not being given food. You can't be noble when you're hungry. So Rex gave in. Although he was a little reluctant, he still knelt down?
But Megan has a lot of tricks. In order to subdue the dog's heart and take a gentle offensive, he usually goes to the kennel to chat with Rex, and even brings Rex into the fragrant boudoir at night. Rex is deeply in love with Meghan, a generation of bully, to be removed from the name?
Finally, Meghan and Rex finished their training and were sent to Iraq.
On the battlefield, Meghan and Rex did a great job.
Because of their outstanding performance, Megan and Rex have become the eye-catching scenery in the US military, but people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong, and bad luck will soon come.
Iraqi militants planted a series of mines next to the road, attracting Meghan and Rex, and then detonating them remotely, causing Meghan and Rex to be blown away.
However, Megan and Rex continued their mission with injuries, and together with the American team, they fought off the enemy and successfully retreated.
After that, Meghan and Rex were evacuated from the battlefield and sent back to the United States to recover. Meghan and Rex became fighting heroes, and Meghan also received a Purple Heart.
But Meghan has lost interest, decided to retire, and plans to adopt Rex. But the military veterinarian concluded that it was not suitable for adoption. Because dogs, like humans, also suffer from post-traumatic sequelae, there is a case of biting a child after adoption, and Rex has a lot of bad things before. Megan's dream is broken.
Rex was sent to Afghanistan again. Its fate, after completing its mission and retiring, is to be euthanized by injection.
At this time, after retiring, Megan, with post-traumatic sequelae, was also confused when she thought about Rex's ending.
A conversation with her dad woke up Megan, you have to know why you live, and even if you fail, you have to keep moving forward until you hit the ground. Rex, for Rex, have a comfortable retirement life, I must adopt it.
So, Megan cheered up again, she went to the senator, she collected more than 20,000 joint signatures, and she also gave interviews to the media. Finally, the U.S. military made an exception, and the ten-year-old Rex retired and adopted Meghan.
The story of Megan and Rex moved countless Americans, and the New York Yankees also invited Megan and Rex as the opening stars.
It can be said that by establishing an emotional bond with Rex, the lonely Megan was cured, and Rex made Megan's life complete. In addition, Rex gave Meghan a purpose in life, and the two rely on each other on the battlefield, achieving and sublimating both sides.
