I was excited to be offered the chance to read and review this book. Due to my love of military themed books and dogs. The author really gives a nice in depth look into the relationship between the dogs and their handlers. Which I really liked this about this book. The psychological aspect of the handler and the dog's relationship. Honesty, as I was reading this book it was not just the military dogs that I could see having a close relationship but my own two dogs as well. I have always shared a very close and personal relationship with all the dogs that I have owned through out the years. My dogs are not just dogs but really are part of my family and they are my children. I believe that I can talk to dogs and they do understand me. So again I get where the people featured in this book are coming from when they share their stories. Dogs are amazing. There were a few times where I did get very emotionally attached to the stories as if I had known these dogs all my life. In the winter of 1939 in the cold snow of no-man's-land, two loners met and began an extraordinary journey together, one that would bind them for the rest of their lives. One was an orphaned puppy, abandoned by his owners as they fled the approaching Nazi forces. The other, a lost soul of a different sort - a Czech airman, flying for the French Air Force but soon to be bound for the RAF and the country that he would call home.Feature Film Study" (PDF).

Author Rudyard Kipling who wrote the classic children’s novel “The Jungle Book” once quoted man’s timeless relationship with a dog: “When the Man waked up he said, 'What is Wild Dog doing here?' And the Woman said, 'His name is not Wild Dog any more, but the First Friend, because he will be our friend for always and always and always.” Centuries later as mankind evolved, so too did its sacred kinship with “Man’s Best Friend.” Nowhere is that partnership more vital than on the battlefield engaged in a never-ending conflict of good versus evil as Military Working Dog teams serve on the tip-of-the spear outside the wire; keeping America’s servicemen and women safe from enemy insurgents and the most feared weapon of all, the Improvised Explosive Device. Now, investigative reporter Rebecca Frankel delves into the reclusive and often sensationalized world of Military Working Dogs and their devoted handlers. Enter “War Dogs: Tales of Canine Heroism, History and Love,” a veteran columnist covering the exploits of MWDs since 2010, Frankel now takes the reader on a journey inside the realm of Uncle Sam’s Top Dogs. The guard dog was incorruptible; the police dog dependable; the messenger dog reliable. The human watchman might be bought; not so the dog. The soldier sentinel might fall asleep; never the dog. The battlefield runner might fail...but the dog, to his last breath would follow the line of duty. Vishnevetsky, Ignatiy (Aug 18, 2016). "The gun-running true story War Dogs is all bark, no bite".

But, absent that substance, I'd prefer the book to move well. It doesn't. Just trods along until a twist ending that failed to land with me because I was so tired of the book. a b Gleiberman, Owen (August 16, 2016). "Film Review: 'War Dogs' ". Variety . Retrieved October 25, 2016.Her newest title, The March Against Fear (National Geographic: 2017), is her third work to examine the civil rights movement in the American South. In the case of these and other books, Bausum strives to bring the nation’s social justice history to life in ways that empower and inspire readers young and old alike. Her previous title, Stonewall (Viking: 2015), is among the first nonfiction books to introduce teens to gay rights history. Previous works have explored voting rights, immigration, and free speech, among other topics. This heartwarming tale details the life and brave wartime experiences of a stray dog and the man who adopted him during WWI. The book at this point seems to be heading towards one of those Alamo-type moments, with our brave band of heroes about to make a last stand against overwhelming odds. I guess it would be unfair for me to say more about the plot at this point, other than War Dogs leads to an ending that is really more complex than I expected and quite clever, which takes the book from being mere mil-SF to something more SF. It doesn’t quite hold together in its latter half, but it was a pleasant surprise to end up somewhere I didn’t think I was going to go. Readers need to be warned, though, that there is no happy ending that ties things up neatly, and I was left at the end expecting more resolution than I got. I'd like to air a minor complaint that even when Americans can imagine a military with men and women in it, they still can't seem to imagine integrated forces. And of course there's no LGBTQ people to be seen. Canada's military has been co-ed for a very, very long time. I don't understand what the big deal is. But, this isn't a deal-breaker for the enjoyment of the book. You do you, Americans.

I can't say this book is objectively bad. This is the first Bear book I've read, and he's clearly a talented and knowledgeable writer. I just really, really didn't like the style of this book for the following reasons: The dynamic between the people from Earth and the settlers on Mars was about the only interesting thing that this book offered me, and that wasn't explored as well as it could have been. We do get some tidbits of the political events that led to the colonization of Mars, and the fallout after that, but these are told in broad strokes. In fact, nearly everything in this book is told in broad strokes. Unless you want descriptions of the vehicles, and why they are called what they are. That's about the only time that this book really gets descriptive.

How to Vote

War Dogs is a futuristic sci-fi military novel. In the future, Earth has visitors are known as the Gurus. The Gurus gave Earth technological gifts and other bits of knowledge. This much is on the cover flap, so I can safely say that I am not spoiling anything. They came in peace and initially asked nothing in return. Eventually they did reveal that their actions were only partially altruistic. More of a reciprocal altruism in fact. They let it be know, to their small cabal, that they have been traveling around fighting their long time enemy which we have come to known as the antagonists. Antags for short. Earth was enlisted to help fight this ancient war as the Antags were making their way into the solar system. This was technically optional, but if you want to get new shiny toys from the Gurus, you became signatory.

Through my grandfather and his dog, Stubby, I learned that being raised by dogs meant learning the meaning of unconditional love, being both trustworthy and faithful, living with dignity and without hesitation or regret, and caring for others less fortunate or in need."

I think the issue is that the author tried to do too much and ended up with a mess. I think the book would work better with a tighter focus and some of the repetition removed.
