Publisher Description
An incredible story of the largely unseen but vital role that dogs play in our armed forces, Lisa Rogak's The Dogs of War is a must-read for animal lovers everywhere.
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.

Dogs of War is a fascinating book encompassing all aspect of dogs used by the Armed Forces. The abilities of the dogs and their handlers are mind-boggling to this civilian. It is truly enlightening and an exciting read. I would recommend it to be read by anyone who loves dogs, values their companionship, realizes their true worth and/or has an interest in the military. It is difficult to put down.
