Shaky, vertical mobile phone video shot by a soldier. A tired US Army dog handler in dusty multi-cam fatigues sits on the ground leaning against a large military vehicle tire, laughing as his German Shepherd licks his face and wags its tail. The setting is a bright, sun-drenched desert base. Harsh natural lighting, candid shot, slightly out of focus at the beginning, raw audio of wind and distant base chatter.
