Second Chances
Nineteen-year-old Gabriel Turner excels at training pit bulls for illegal fights. When he runs into trouble with the law, he is given an ultimatum to either go to jail or join the military. He opts for the Army where he straightens out and serves as a handler of a bomb-sniffing dog he names Samuel L. Jackson. The two have each other’s back through terrible situations in war-torn Afghanistan. A brutal RPG explosion changes everything. The book shines a spotlight on the brave service of military working dogs and what they experience, an issue few people are familiar with, as well as tackling the debilitating aspects of PTSD, opioid addiction and suicide.

Excellent read & a Wonderful 2nd chance
Well I've started this review twice and don't know quite what to say without ruining the story for others. I really liked the story about a young man who has an affinity for dogs, joins the Army and becomes a dog handler with a malinoes, I'm not sure I spelled that right. Then we start hearing the dog's view and the soldier's which was excellent way to do the rest of the story. After that I really can't say much else. They go to war and get badly injured where each think the other is dead. They get a 2nd chance .......
