This is such a fun book for any dog lover. The dogs features in this book are truly heroic, and the basic training these MWDs entail is pretty interesting. These dogs are huge assets to the safety of our armed forces.
I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn more about dogs. As a teacher I would read this maybe nearing Veteran's Day or another military related event. After reading, I would let the student have the opportunity to have an organized discussion about their pets and something special they can do. I want to have this book in my personal teaching library! ( )
