Book Reviews of Always Faithful: A Memoir of the Marine Dogs of WWII
Book Review: Nice recounting of the bond between man and dog in war
Summary: 4 Stars
This book takes the reader from the training days of dogs and men to the Pacific theater front lines. It gives an insight in the workings of war dogs , their training and , unfotunately , the wrong perception that returning these dogs to civil life is impossible. It also gives a view on the dogs handlers and their own experiences.The book is difficult to put down ,it reads from start to finish captivating at all times.
The minor regret one might have is that the efforts made by the writer to get the recognition for these dogs of war is only lightly touched upon. A great book on the friendship between animal and human.
