Summary: Documents the contributions of specially trained military dogs, profiling noteworthy canine heroes while covering such topics as how they are trained and what happens to them when they retire.

Review: These stories of heroic dogs in the battlefield are stories the whole family could enjoy. I never knew how much dogs play an important part during war. From World War I all the way to present day in Afghanistan these dogs have saved many lives. Something I didn’t know was that families willing offered their beloved pets to the war effort in World War II. There is a picture in the book with a boy giving his dog to an army officer and it says a lot about how important the dogs were. These dogs are as tuff and fearless as their humans. The story of the dog Nemo clearly proves this point. This would be a wonderful Christmas present for anyone in the family!
