Sounding a warning of a night attack by North Vietnamese, this mongrel dog proved to be a hero for members of a 105mm artillery unit in "Landing Zone Ike," about 60 miles northwest of Saigon. Radar and observation posts failed to notice the enemy, but "Lifer" did and gave the valuable warning. "Lifer" and a puppy roam about the sandbagged perimeter of the artillery position, September 1969
