But the army is not into rehiring 'lame' veterans. Thankfully, a senior throws him a lifeline. He is tasked with delivering a temperamental, disturbed, and dangerous, muzzled and on anti-deps, a hero Army dog, a Belgian Malinois named Lulu (played by three dogs), to the family funeral of a veteran who served with Briggs.
