Untold Story of “Nam”
During the Vietnam War germen shepherds were needed to seek out mines, other booby traps, ambushes, etc...The government needed recruits and had high school students register to join the military. This is where Duke and Kyle came in. Duke was a germen shepherd for the military also known as K94324. He had a beautiful coat, the colors of his coat was mixed beautifully. He had a temper though, that’s why no one wanted to work with him. Anyone who got near Duke he would tear there heads off (not literally). People weren’t sure what was going to become of him with that much aggression inside of him. But, there just happened to be a new kid named Kyle Ross from Minnesota who never had an animal in his life, just got out of high school, and wanted to show people what he could do. He wandered by Duke’s cage every so often stopped a couple times but Duke never let him get to close. One day Lieutenant Cooper posted a piece of paper on the wall that listed what recruits were assigned to what dog. Just happened that Kyle was assigned to Duke. Kyle thought what’s so hard about training a dog. “A piece of cake” said Kyle but a older fellow remarked “that’s what you think kid, you have the meanest dog in Nam.” Kyle didn’t exactly know how to respond to that so he didn’t say anything. Later that afternoon Kyle made a trip over to the kennels and found the cage that was marked K94324 the dog‘s id number. This was the dog, he stopped leaned down and Duke leaped at the cage and Kyle fell to his butt, everybody laughed. Kyle remarked “this is going to be a long day.” He tried studying the dog to see if there were physical problems with the dog but Duke appeared to be in good health. Kyle just couldn’t figure it out, how can an animal have so much hatred towards humans. Finally Kyle went and asked one of his lieutenants for any history on K94324. He received papers about Duke saying he was abandoned at a young age then abused. The military only took him
