Bonded By Battle: The Powerful Friendships of Military Dogs And Soldiers, From the Civil War to Operation Iraqi Freedom

By Nancy Roe Pimm

Learn the surprising hidden history behind Military Working Dog Teams, the dynamic duo that works hard every day to make the world safer.

 

The U.S. military has spent billions on technology to detect roadside bombs, and still nothing beats a Military Working Dog paired with his best friend. Working together, dogs and humans have changed how the military keeps us safe.

 

Through the stories of a dozen heartwarming friendships between two-legged and four-legged soldiers, Nancy Roe Pimm shows how the Working Dog Team evolved from the Civil War onward and became one of the military's most versatile and effective weapons
