The guard dog was incorruptible; the police dog dependable; the messenger dog reliable. The human watchman might be bought; not so the dog. The soldier sentinel might fall asleep; never the dog. The battlefield runner might fail...but the dog, to his last breath would follow the line of duty. Molinet, Jason (April 30, 2015).

The book is filled with many heart-warming stories of the affection that dogs and soldiers show each other. One theme that emerges is the reluctance of the dog handlers to admit that there is a love been them and their dogs. Perhaps it is a coping mechanism. With all of the stories presented, it is hard to believe that is not a mutually shared love in these unique relationships.

The bond that develops over time during training and ultimate deployment in action is remarkable. Rebecca Frankel has put together a collection of war dog stories that is memorable and thoughtful. Readers will no doubt take pause to reflect as each story is unique. However, a common thread exists throughout the book that ties these tales together. Each handler and his dog have an unbreakable bond. Each is devoted to the other with an unbreakable trust and love. So much so that they will often give their life for each other....dog for man and man for dog. As a former military working dog handler, I can be skeptical of stories and reports on our beloved dog teams as they can often be sensationalized or full of misinformation. Frankel not only captures the heroism and history of dog teams in great detail and accuracy, but offers unprecedented access to the training dogs and handlers go through and the everlasting relationships they forge. This book is a tremendous gift to the military working dog community and those interested in it."

There's some short interlacing stories of these pairs (although I wish there were more), some during conflicts, some after, with a focus on the usefulness and skill of the dogs and the positive outcomes the animals have on people. Also, a discussion on the effects of PTSD on both. Very good read, especially if you know what you are getting.

More than a Millennia ago, it is believed ancient man forged an eternal bond with the first dog. A creature who afforded him companionship on dark, lonely nights by the fire and protection from unforeseen enemies in the night. This is a lovely book but it's also a surprising book. I opened it looking forward to reading a few good stories about the use of dogs in war. But midway through it, the realization hit me that this is something larger than that, and far deeper: it is a meditation on war and humans. It illuminates conflict from the unexpected angle of the allure of war, and the damage it does to both species."
