For the first time, learn the whole 150-year story of how dogs and soldiers built a relationship on and off the battlefield, teaming up to become our militarys most advanced counter-terrorism weapon.

The dogs could sniff out mustard gas and booby traps, ID enemy combatants and roadside bombs. Endorsed by the Provost Marshall General of the U.S. Army. Official selection of the Ohioana Book Festival.
