Her name is Ruby.

Daily Deviation

Given 2008-06-30

Suggester says: "This is a very touching photo that was taken by a solider in Iraq. They found a puppy and fed it some food, making a friend as a result. It just goes to show that creatures can help each other out in difficult times." A New Friend by ~NightHunter17. Please refrain from using personal political views in your Daily Deviation comments.

This is such a touching and profound photo... I love the way it captures the exact moment of quiet desperation and uncertainty from the puppy's perspective, as well as the gentle caution displayed by the soldier. Is this you in the photo or a fellow serviceman?

Thank you for the comment. By the way it is a fellow Marine. I was the one that took the picture. :)

I wish the photo was slightly more focused on the dog but then I don't really think being there was the ideal location for a photoshoot.

Touching and shows us a positive in such negative.

Your dd was welll deserved.

Very nicely taken photo. On top of that, the way the dog looks makes me feel like I know how the situation is there, which brings an sentimental aspect to the whole thing.

Its heartbreaking to see such a pure and innocent creature caught up in war. Beautiful and touching photo, youve brought humanity to such a desolate place :)
