Dog Tags - Prisoners of War

Miguel is a medic in the US Army.  Stationed in a remote Belgian forest during World War II, he's expecting a quiet tour of duty.  But the Nazis have other ideas.  They launch a surprise attack...one that separates Miguel from his entire division.

Alone and lost in enemy territory, Miguel discovers an abandoned dog, left behind by German forces.  The dog could be just the ally Miguel needs to get out of the forest alive.  There's a catch, though.  The dog has been trained by the Nazis to see Miguel as the enemy.  Can a young soldier teach an old dog new tricks?
