Now in trade paperback, War Dogs provides an eye-opening look at unsung canine heroes from World War I to the present. Terriers, shepherds, beagles, collies, huskies, and Dobermans are only a few of the breeds that have pulled sleds, searched caves and bunkers, and even parachuted into combat. Michael Lemish has collected true stories and rare photographs that reflect the strong bonds that have formed between war dogs and their masters as they worked together in dangerous situations. Anyone who has ever loved a dog will love this salute to these four-legged heroes.
Industry Reviews
"Astonishing stories about military working dogs...rare, compelling photographs...a fascinating piece of history." ""War Dogs" tells the fascinating, bittersweet story of our unsung animal heroes. It is a poignant tribute to the fifty thousand canine soldiers who have served our country, often at the expense of their own lives." "Once I started reading "War Dogs", I couldn't put it down. Finally a book has been written to honor our K9 heroes. Anyone who loves dogs should buy this book." "For those interested in dogs and American military history, this book is a must. Like the tent, the military dog has never become obsolete. Lemish's accounts of the ups and downs of our military dog programs and our GIs' personal experiences with their dogs make this book fascinating reading."
