Author and Marine veteran Craig Grossi tells the story of Fred the Afghan’s miraculous journey from a war zone to living his best life in America. Rosie Fund cannot recommend Craig’s two books highly enough. They are powerful examples of our motto: we save each other. Craig & Fred: A Marine, A Stray Dog, And How They Rescued Each Other and Second Chances: A Marine, His Dog, and Finding Redemption are both available on Fred’s website or wherever finer books are sold.
