In war dogs, Rebecca Frankel offers an exciting mix of on-the-ground reporting, her own hands-on experiences in the military working dog world, and a look at dogs' special abilities- from their amazing nosed and powerful jaws to their enormous sensitivity to the emotions of their human companions.      Dogs have been a part of the US military since World War II, and they are still leading patrols hunting for IEDs today. Frankel talks to top military commanders, to handlers who deployed with dogs in wars from Vietnam to Iraq, to combat-trained therapists who brought dogs into war zones to try to save off PTSD, and to veterinarians stationed in Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan. Full of amazing stories, War Dogs is a must-read for dog lovers everywhere.
