Review
This book tells about MWDs which stands for Military Working Dogs. These dogs have been trained to help soldiers deal with all kinds of things. They can help sniff out bombs, weapons, and even people that are enemies. And this isn’t something new, dogs have been used in times of war for a long time which is talked about in here. One of the best parts of the book are the actual stories handlers, those are the people that get to have an MWD, tell. The things that dogs have done to protect people is just amazing. Another great feature in the book is the information provided in case you want to help with MWDs when they are sent into a dangerous situation like a war, or, maybe even adopt one. This books does a solid good job of looking at the whole process of how a dog becomes a MWD and what happens to them when their time of service is up.
Overall Book Score: very good
