Synopsis:
Gunner and Sarge are given an assignment to cross a river to scout enemy positions. Pooch has a dream about pulling the soldiers on a raft away from a bridge filled with enemy soldiers. When their raft is destroyed twice, Gunner and Sarge are unable to cross the river. Pooch is happy that his dream will not have a chance to come true.

Gunner and Sarge walk the shore of the river and come upon an enemy position. They kill the enemy soldiers and steal a raft loaded with explosives. They cross the river and discover a large enemy force headed for a newly constructed bridge. Pooch's dream comes true as both Gunner and Sarge are wounded while planting explosives on the bridge. He is able to pull them to safety as the bridge explodes. The soldiers and Pooch then return to their camp.
