Hero Dogs: Secret Missions and Selfless Service

by Lance M. Bacon, Ronald L. Aiello (Preface)

Todays specially trained war dogs--like the anonymous canine hero that took part in the top-secret mission against Osama bin Laden--are a breed apart, assisting their human friends in locating improvised explosive devices, conducting clandestine missions, and more. Many have earned recognition for heroism. Others struggle with wounds and post-traumatic stress. Dozens died in the line of duty. Filled with hundreds of dramatic never-before-seen photos, this one-of-a-kind book features inspiring tales of selfless battlefield service related by the war dogs handlers and fellow soldiers.

My Grandfather worked with war dogs when he served and gave me this book. It gives civilians a small picture of what they went through.
