Military working dogs gained widespread attention after one
participated in the SEAL Team Six mission that led to Osama bin
Laden's death. Before that, few civilians realized we had dogs
serving in combat, let alone that they could parachute from up to
30,000 feet. And as astounding as that is, it's only one of the
many things our four-legged soldiers can do.
In this book, Lisa Rogak shows the amazing range of jobs that
military working dogs perform, such as explosives detection,
patrol, and hunt for enemy combatants. Dogs have had a place in the
military for decades, but their importance and our treatment of
them has evolved over time. Rogak examines the training, equipment,
and what it's like to serve with them on the front lines.
"The Dogs of War "also tells heart-warming stories of the deep
connections that grow between dogs and their handlers. And Rogak
recounts adventures both heroic and tragic of the courage and
devotion that both human and canine soldiers have shown together on
the battlefield.
An incredible story of a largely unseen but vital role that dogs
play in our armed forces, "The Dogs of War "is a must-read for
animal-lovers everywhere.
