Synopsis for "Man's Best Enemy"
Amid the ruins of a bombed out laboratory, a soldier named Frank and a K-9 unit named Corky are prowling in search of survivors. Instead of survivors they found a score of mutant guinea pigs which they attacked the dog. Fortunately the soldier sends the rodents scurrying and Corky seems to be alright albeit with scratches.
But the next morning, Corky had escaped from his kennel by tearing through a fence. Frank tracks Corky in the countryside and is stunned in finding numerous cattle killed by the dog, who is eventually found having chases the owner of the cattle up a tree. Though obviously feral and mutated, Corky is able to respond to Frank's commands and relents.
Frank takes Corky to the vet have him check. The company doctor gives his suspensions that the lab the two explored was experimenting on biological-warfare and whatever the guinea pigs infected Corky made him a bio-hazard to humans, and thus he must be put to sleep. Frank, reluctantly, agrees with the doctor and decide to personally ends the dog's life.
But as Frank prepares to shoot Corky, the dog attacks his master. Shots are fired and two soldier rush to the scene where they find Frank, who informs them that he killed Corky but the dog before he could fire - Frank is infected and is now a half-human beast who then lunges at the soldiers.
