  13. My Summary Paragraph Double O was a great war hero, he fought in the Vietnam war. He risked his life for his friend and his friend's dog. In order to get the dog to safety to save his life from euthanasia, Double O gave the dog Ajax to a Vietnam family that would stay with him and watch him. The reason the mom agreed to take in Ajax is because Ajax once saved her sons life. Double O had to fight his own Army to rescue the dog. Which takes a lot of courage to do what is right.
