Review Quotes:
"Dogs jumping from airplanes, dogs sacrificing their lives to save their handlers, dogs patrolling dense tropical jungles -- such heroics may seem the stuff of animation fantasy, but Lisa Rogak's The Dogs of War documents the real-life valor of canine warriors. Rogak is to be commended for the book's encyclopedic scope and rich historical detail." --The Washington Post
"Lisa Rogak's The Dogs of War sheds light on why the dog, more than any other animal, holds a special place in our history, and our hearts. The most comprehensive book I have ever read on the subject of military dogs, it exemplifies the indomitable spirit of the dog itself, ever selfless, loyal to a fault." --Steve Duno, author of Last Dog on the Hill "Canine heroism is eloquently celebrated in Lisa Rogak's The Dogs of War." --Hudson Valley News "Most of the accounts in this book will bring tears to your eyes." --The Macon Telegraph
