“Meanwhile, at the foot of the bed, the couple’s new pet dog snuggles between their legs. Far removed from his service days sniffing out roadside bombs in dusty faraway places, he knows the man and woman love him as much as his old friend, Jake.”
– excerpt from Dog vs. Alien. Dedicated to heroic service dogs—past, present, and future.
Grieving their son’s tragic death while serving overseas in a godforsaken hellhole undeserving of his heroic sacrifice, a twilight-years couple say good riddance to the cruel world and move to an off-the-grid cabin in the Montana wilderness. They only want to be left alone in their private retreat built in a bucolic meadow, lost amongst an endless sea of pines. Abandoning a lifetime’s worth of possessions, the man and woman carry only essentials and cherished mementos—plus a 4-legged tail-wagging addition named Biscuit—to the rustic, serene locale.
Recuperating from the horrible IED blast that killed Jake, his partner and best friend, Biscuit bonds with his elderly hosts, who seem to share in the German Shepherd’s sadness. On a clear night, a jarring sound pricks Biscuit’s acute auditory senses to a cloaked maleficence lurking outside in the forested shadows, surveying the cabin for imminent destruction to clear a landing zone for those coming.
Not on Biscuit’s watch.
…
