Book Reviews of None Came Home: The War Dogs of Vietnam
Book Review: Excellent read.
Summary: 5 Stars
Unsung heroes. The dogs that are the soldier's best friends in battle. These faithful dogs are severely underappreciated for the sacrifices they give us to help keep all of us safe. Yet also there is the humane element too. The normalcy and 'humanity' the K9 officer gives to our troops in the down times. This is definitely something that cannot be paid back.
Or can it?
Freedom is not free.
I have met the author, Sgt. John E. O'Donnell and his faithful best girl Charlie. She's a typical sweet sable brat German Shepherd Dog that accompanies him everywhere. Sgt. O' Donnell is bright and witty and charming. His stories are great to listen to if you have the time and regret not having enough time to just sit and listen when I could.
The book relays his story of part of his life during the Vietnam era and gives a personal autobiographical snapshot in this day of a new dog and handler team. They look great on the cover and yes, that is really them, but you know they were scared to death on the inside like all of the other soldiers were.
In battle, all hearts beat as one and everyone becomes everyone elses' brother. We can pay back our K9 heroes by showing honor to them. After all, you see them everyday in service dog work guiding visually impaired people and others with lots of other disabilities. Helping our police force, and doing therapy work. It's a dog's work and they do it selflessly.
