Lara Logan & The Unforgettable "Bill", The Puppy


As Logan told Overtime editor Ann Silvio, the story of Bill takes place in Afghanistan where she was recently on assignment, reporting on brothers serving in the US Marines. While working in the field, Lara and her producer Tom Anderson caught up with a group of Marines from the 1st Battalion, 23rd Marine Regiment. They had taken on a very special duty: saving Bill, an adorable orphaned puppy that was near death when they found him.

"You know, everyone has this image of Marines as jarheads and door-kickers" said Logan. "But when we got to this patrol base, we saw these guys sitting around caring for Bill. I just watched for a little while, and it was very clear from the first moment that all these Marines loved this little dog. They were mad about him."
