Battle Brady
Battle Brady and Socko Swenski spot Chinese soldiers attacking a Korean farm, and come to the rescue of the woman who owns the farm. However, they fail to stop her from getting fatally shot. When a Chinese soldier tries to get the drop on Brady, the farmer's dog attacks him allowing Battle to throw a knife at the enemy soldier. They wipe out the remaining soldiers and continue on their way. To their surprise, the dog begins to follow them and while Battle accepts the dog's companionship Socko does not understand what use a mutt could be to them.
When they begin crossing through an area the dog begins barking, Socko finds this annoying but Battle realizes that the dog is trying to warn them of something, and discovers that the path ahead is rigged with landmines. Later the dog has the sent of enemy soldiers who get the drop on Battle and Socko. The dog runs off and the two soldiers are taken prisoner. Battle and Socko are tied to trees and are about to be executed when suddenly the mutt returns with an army of dogs that maul the soldiers to death and then free Battle and Socko from their bonds. Battle decides to take all the dogs back to base with him for chow as a reward, much to Socko's chagrin. | Appearing1 = **Featured Characters:** * Battle Brady) **Supporting Characters:** * Socko Swenski) **Antagonists:** * Chinese army)
