Hey guys!

So yesterday night I got to watch, Megan Leavey, a movie about the story of a U.S. female Marine and her bomb sniffing dog and the bond they both shared in combat and out of combat. It was super emotional and by the end, there were some tears!

So it makes sense to do the recreation of the trailer for it!

And by the way, the main character of the movie is Megan Leavey, but use your imagination and pretend that Jewel is her instead!

"We need one dog team for road sweep and surrounding area check."

A male Marine's voice spoke as the scene shows a desolate desert area, only a few ruined buildings standing nearby and a ruined car by the side of the road.

"Leavey, dog up!"

A Marine shouted to another one as the female Marine, named Jewel, a Blue macaw, came out of a humvee, holding onto a leash which was attached to her dog, a German Shepherd. As Jewel leads her dog, her face is revealed, showing that she was light blue in color. The scene switches to one of the past as Jewel's mother is shown seating down at a restaurant table.

"I just don't know why you want to do this."

And then it shows Jewel sitting down across from her mother.

"Yeah I know you don't."

And the scene changes again to one of Jewel walking past a recruiting station, with two servicemen going inside.

"You don't really connect with people very well."

Jewel's mother told her daughter as the scene goes back to the desolate desert road. And then goes back to the past, with the moment that the female Marine first arrived in boot camp.

"Just so you know, running away isn't going to solve anything."

Jewel's mother told her on the phone, but was quickly cut off when a drill sergeant from outside saw and yelled at Jewel.

"Hang up that phone!"

Jewel quickly putting her phone away and getting off the bus with the other recruits, the drill sergeant still yelling at her.

"Tuck your shirt in!"

And the scene goes back to the desolate road, the dog sniffing the ground with Jewel right behind holding onto the leash. Suddenly the dog sniffied something out as he stopped and stopped sniffing, going in a sitting position to indict that he found something, an explosive device

"Found something."

Jewel called back to the rest of the Marines with her, Jewel placing down a marker to indict where the explosive device was.

"Good boy."

Jewel told her dog, praising him for his good work. And the scene changes again to one of the past, Jewel and her dog in the Military Vet's examination room.

"I been watching this dog all year."

A vet told Jewel as the scene changes to one of Jewel's dog furiously barking at something while being held on tightly.

"He's the most aggressive dog I ever treated."

The vet reported to Jewel as the scene changes to one of a classroom, the Marine handlers learning how to teach their dogs. Jewel's dog, which wasn't hers at that time, being difficult with his original handler as he was furiously barking at his handler, even biting his wing.

The scene once again goes back to the desolate road, where Jewel was sitting down against the side of the humvee, with her dog besides her. Another Marine came up to them.

"Does he really need another break?"

The Marine asked Jewel.

"It's not like he hasn't earned it."

The Marine walking away as he nodded his head, however when he did, behind him was a number of markers, all the explosive devices that Jewel's dog sniffed out.

And again to the past, in a sergeant's office, he told Jewel some news she wanted to hear, giving her the dog that bitten his original handler's wing.

"You're getting a dog."

The sergeant told Jewel, however needing reassurance from her.

"You got this? Think faster!"

The sergeant said louder to Jewel.

"Yeah I got this."

Jewel replied in a sure tone, only for later when Jewel was outside the dog's kennel, for her to be startled when the dog jumped up, barking at her.

"You think I'm afraid of you?"

Jewel asked the dog, in a determined tone.

"Lay down."

Jewel ordered her dog.

"Rex, lay down."

Jewel ordered in a more commanding tone as the dog, Rex, did as he was told.

Back at the desolate road, a vehicle was approaching Jewel and the other Marines.

"Vehicle approaching."

Jewel called out to the other Marines.

"Guns up."

Another Marine told the rest as Rex was barking at the car, as the Marine on top of the humvee's machine gun pointed it at the incoming vehicle, the rest of the Marines getting their M4s ready.

Based on a True Story

"Why'd you join?"

A male Blue macaw (Blu) asked Jewel while sitting across from her, the two of them playing a card game at base.

"To get away from my life."

Jewel answered as back stateside, it showed an upset Jewel throwing down her phone.

"Shipping out tomorrow."

Jewel, sitting down in her bed back at the base in the states, told Rex as he was looking back at her, with his tongue out.

"We're so not ready for this."

Jewel commented as back on the desolate road, with the car approaching the Marines, the Marines managing to stop the car and checking on the driver, Jewel was called up.

"Clear."

One of the two Marines who was checking the car shouted back to the others.

"Leavey, check the vehicle."

A Marine told Jewel.

"Okay, go."

Jewel softly told Rex as the two cautiously walked towards the car, the other Marines following closely behind. And all of a sudden, an explosive device blew up right next to Jewel, knocking her out as the shockwave threw her aside.

Later, at a military hospital, Jewel was laying in a bed, however she was more concerned for Rex.

"Where's my dog?"

Jewel asked to the doctor and nurse next to her bed.

"I need to see him."

Jewel said, getting close to tears as the nurse made her lay back down.

"Oh, no, no, no."

The nurse told Jewel as she gently pushed Jewel back down into the bed.

This June

"You cannot come back to my house like some big war hero."

Jewel's mother told Jewel as Jewel came back home, to receive a hug from her mother. But later, the two were having an argument in Jewel's room, Jewel packing her stuff to leave the house.

"Back off mom!"

Jewel yelled back at her mother while later, Jewel was driving her car, crying as Jewel's mother continued talking.

"You can't let your whole life fall apart over some dog."

As Jewel's mother spoke, as then Jewel explained why she wanted Rex, the scene changing back to the desolate road, now in the ruined buildings as Rex charged froward and grabbed onto a Marine with his teeth, pulling down a Marine as an RPG was fired and hit the side of the building, Rex's action saving the Marines.

"That dog saved my life."

A Marine's Greatest Mission

The scene now shows Jewel in a helicopter, crying and covering her eyes as she was forced to leave behind Rex, who didn't go with her.

"Please, just change his classification so that I can adopt him when he gets back."

Jewel pleaded with her sergeant about Rex as the next scene showed Rex with Jewel checking up on a car in a busy town street.

"They aren't pets, they're warriors."

The sergeant told Jewel about military dogs in general as the scene goes to one of Jewel trying to get into a moving humvee, only to be thrown off by a close RPG blast. Rex, who was in the humvee, jumped out to risk his life to go after Jewel.

Is To Bring A Hero Home

Back stateside, Jewel was in front of a government building, wanting to talk to a certain someone who was in front of her.

"Senator, can I just have a moment of your time."

Jewel asked the senator, the senator allowing it as Jewel spoke to him about Rex.

"His name is Rex, he saved thousands of lives in Iraq."

Jewel told the senator as she showed him pictures of the two of them in Iraq, the senator clearly interested as he took off his glasses and looked directly at Jewel.

"What did you say your name was?"

The senator asked Jewel.

"Corporal Jewel Leavey."

Jewel answered as she accepted a handshake from the senator.

The scene changes to one of Jewel on her laptop, as she threw up her wings in the air, obviously good news coming to her. And the next scene showing Jewel and Rex walking out onto the field at Yankee Stadium to a cheering crowd of thousands.

"All you got to do is fight."

Jewel's father told his daughter as it shows Jewel standing outside with her wingover her beak.

"And you know how to fight."

Jewel's father continued, encouraging Jewel as it shows Rex running to Jewel, Jewel doing likewise.

"You're a Marine."

Jewel's father finished as the next scene showed Jewel saluting to Rex whilw he walked about on the training course for the military dogs. And then Jewel opening her door at the military base in Iraq, the sunlight coming in.

Base on a True Story

"What would you say to Rex if he were here?"

A therapist asked Jewel, as she was seating down in a therapy circle.

"I'll thank him for teaching me what love is."

Jewel answered as the final scene showed Rex running towards a tearful Jewel, clearly very happy to see her dog again.

June

And done!

Now before we end this one, a few words on the real Megan Leavey and Rex.

The two served two deployments in Iraq together, first being deployed to Fallujah in 2005 and then to Ramadi in 2006, where they were both wounded by an I.E.D. (improvised explosive device) After that incident, Leavey pushed to adopt Rex as her own, but while Leavey was recovering from her wounds, Rex was returned to combat in Afghanistan.

Later on, during combat, Rex became sick and unfit for combat, Leavey petitioning the Marine Corps to allow her to adopt Rex, even appealing to New York Senator Chuck Schumer (New York is where Leavey lives) to intervene. Finally, after a hard fought battle to adopt Rex as her own, the two were finally reunited and together at last in April 2012, however the reunion didn't last long…

Rex died peacefully on December 22, 2012.
