Rover was unable to make too far before he was wounded taking multiple fire and nearly dying if not for the timely rescue of Hawkeye. Hawkeye manage to shoot down the helicopter and save Rover taking him to a nearby town and finding it a doctor and vet to help save its life. Rover was able to recover from its wounds the following day surprising the Doctor and Vet, The Secret Empire looking for it's experiment started buzzing over the town leaving Hawkeye and Rover no choice but to return to the compound in hopes of dismantling it's operation. Saving the other animals who were being experimented on including Rover's pack but also to leading the scouting party away from the small town and its people.

Returning to the compound they were too late to save Rover's family pack arriving just in time to watch them get executed in their cages as they prepared to clean up and leave no evidence behind. Rover sadden by what it witness became enraged running at the soldiers and attacking them held in check only by Hawkeye, during Rover's attack of the soldiers an alarm was raised leading for more soldiers to appear.
