Title
American soldier gives a puppy to Sacred Heart Orphanage
Description
Original caption: "Ah, How About a Smile - A new puppy given to the children of the Sacred Heart Orphanage in Da Nang appears somewhat disenchanted with all the attention. Perhaps he would rather be off in some corner chewing on a big bone. Presenting the dog to the children is Marine Lance Corporal William Houllett (Jacksonville, Fla.) a member of the Marine Air Group 16 Crash Crew." An American soldier holds a Vietnamese child in one arm and a puppy in the other. Three more children stand around him.
