Loyal and courageous, dogs are truly man's best friend on the
battlefield. In War Dogs, Rebecca Frankel offers a riveting mix of
on-the-ground reporting, her own hands-on experiences in the
military working dog world, and a look at the science of dogs'
special abilities from their amazing noses and powerful jaws to
their enormous sensitivity to the emotions of their human
companions. The history of dogs in the US military is long and
rich, from the spirit-lifting mascots of the Civil War to the dogs
still leading patrols hunting for IEDs today. Frankel not only
interviewed handlers who deployed with dogs in wars from Vietnam to
Iraq, but top military commanders, K-9 program managers,
combat-trained therapists who brought dogs into war zones as part
of a preemptive measure to stave off PTSD, and veterinary
technicians stationed in Bagram. She makes a passionate case for
maintaining a robust war-dog force. With a compelling cast of
humans and animals, this moving book is a must read for all dog
lovers, military and otherwise.
