Dogs hold a special place in a soldier's heart. They are our companions. They are our family. For thousands of years, faithful dogs joined soldiers on the battlefield, time and again proving their worth as stalwart warriors, loyal friends, and even as healers. Author Rebecca Frankel, the special projects editor at Foreign Policy, spent 12 months researching the U.S. military's working-dog programs. War Dogs: Tales of Canine Heroism, History, and Love is a testament to the unique bond shared between soldiers and their dogs. War Dogs is replete with personal, often emotional, stories. Some will make you laugh. If you ever loved a dog, then some of them may cause you to shed a tear. This book, however, is more than just a simple collection of war vignettes. Frankel examines current theories associated with canine psychology, emotions, and intelligence, and their impact upon training prospective military working dogs.
