The Dogs of War: The Courage, Love, and Loyalty of Military Working Dogs de Lisa Rogak

The Dogs of War: The Courage, Love, and Loyalty of Military Working Dogs

Autor Lisa Rogak
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 sep 2011

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.

Recenzii

"Lisa Rogak's "The Dogs of War" sheds light on why the dog, more than any other animal, holds a special place in our history, and our hearts. The most comprehensive book I have ever read on the subject of military dogs, it exemplifies the indomitable spirit of the dog itself, ever selfless, loyal to a fault."
--Steve Duno, author of "Last Dog on the Hill""A book that will fascinate dog lovers and lovers of the military. ... It's inspiring and beautifully written."

"--The Examiner"

"Dogs jumping from airplanes, dogs sacrificing their lives to save their handlers, dogs patrolling dense tropical jungles -- such heroics may seem the stuff of animation fantasy, but Lisa Rogak's "The""Dogs of War" documents the real-life valor of canine warriors. Rogak is to be commended for the book's encyclopedic scope and rich historical detail." --"The Washington Post"
