Devin Meurer, a former marine, lays in bed with his dog Rocco in his apartment in Pleasanton, Texas on August 6, 2015. Meurer is facing eviction after getting in a motorcycle accident and losing his third oil field job since December 2014. Rocco died a few weeks later. "Rocco was my savior," he said. "I am just trying to make it another day." “I’d rather go back to Iraq," he said. "At least I know who’s shooting at me over there. Here, every angle something is wrong. Everyone is shooting at you.”
