Call of Duty

The article of "Call of Duty" was sad yet inspiring. Jose Armenta & Zenit work together to track dangerous bombs. Both Jose and Zenit were in the army. Zenit was Jose's partner. Zenit is Jose's trusty dog. On the day they were very successful, they were also unsuccessful. Unfortunately, tracking of one if the bombs went wrong and Jose almost lost his life. Jose lost both his legs and a lot of blood. Closest thing he had to survival was miles away! Zenit stayed by Jose's side the whole time. When rescue finally got there, they took Jose and Zenit to an emergency room right away. After long months of rehab and therapy, Jose started to get use to his new legs. Getting use to his prosthesis legs wasn't easy, but he got through the adversity. The most tragic part of this unforgettable event, was that his bestfriend, Zenit, was taken to war again AND assigned to a new partner. Jose was angered! He hated knowing that Zenit was with somebody new. In order to get back Zenit, Jose had to work hard and fight. That's exactly what he did. Jose went through a lot of arguments, and paper signing, and waiting, to get Zenit back by his side. After waiting for what seemed like forever, Jose was reunited with his trusty partner and best friend, Zenit. Zenit immediately recognized Jose and covered him in kisses. Jose says that he felt like his life was finally complete. 

This article taught me so many things, I don't even know where to start. First off, it taught me that true connections can be with another person or even an animal. It also taught me that your best friend will always be by yourside in time of need. No matter if Zenit was a dog, he understood what happened to Jose and he didn't leave him to die. Another thing it taught me was to fight for what I want and love. Most of the time it's worth fighting for. If you truly want something, you'll wait as long as it takes. 

True friendships can never be broken.
