    After playing fetch and getting a bath, military working dog Hexa relaxes in the kennel office, but isn't willing to give up her tennis ball. Her eyes are cloudy due to a neurological disorder which is causing her to slowly drift into blindness. But, at almost 11 years old, she's spent her entire lifetime serving her nation and her handlers, locating explosives during two separate deployments to Iraq, one of which included doing work in the infamous city of Fallujah. Having honorably done her duty, she'll now be expected to play fetch, sleep and be loved on by her new adoptive family.
