Melline | Aug 13, 2022 |   It is immediately apparent when reading this book that the Author has done their research as they cover, in fine detail, the selection process for a puppy to become a Military Working Dog (MWD) right through to their retirement and transition, hopefully to a civilian life. With so much research and detail this is a book that could easily have turned into something resembling a research paper, but the Author manages to avoid this pitfall turning the book into an informative memoir through the telling of the stories of different dogs and the roles they play as a MWD. Each chapter of the boo k is given over to a particular dog and their handler, and this leads to a greater understanding of the bonds created between the two, and the heartbreak felt when one or the other is lost. Interspersed with some wonderful photographs that show these dogs in action, this is a book that will surely capture the reader and pull them in from the very first page. It is emotional, funny, and above all informative and will give many readers a greater insight into the life of a MWD, and why they are held in such high esteem not only by their handlers, but by the Service Members they work alongside. I could write a lot more about this book in my review, but to do so would involve quoting portions of the book to illustrate what a great read it is, and I would rather the reader find that out for themselves. I would highly recommend this book to dog lovers and those interested in the military.

(  ) TheAcorn | Nov 8, 2019 | (  ) Carlathelibrarian | Feb 5, 2019 | This was such an amazing read. I so enjoyed reading this book. The author provided information about something that is not widely known to the general public. So many animal people would love this book. This book was very well written and very interesting. Thanks for a great read Ms. Lisa Rogak. ***THIS WAS A GOODREADS.COM FIRST READ CONTEST WIN!*** ( ) kybunnies | Oct 19, 2014 |  ) marshapetry | Jul 15, 2014 | geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Military working dogs gained widespread attention after Cairo participated in the SEAL Team 6 mission that led to Osama bin Laden's death. Before that, few civilians realized that dogs served in combat, let alone that they could parachute from thirty thousand feet up. The Dogs of War reveals the amazing range of jobs that our four-legged soldiers now perform, examines the dogs' training and equipment, and sets the record straight on those rumors of titanium teeth. You'll find heartwarming stories of the deep bond that dogs and their handlers share with each other, and learn how soldiers and civilians can help the cause by fostering puppies or adopting retirees. An incredible story of the largely unseen but vital role that dogs play in our armed forces, The Dogs of War is a must-listen for animal lovers everywhere. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
