Summary

"While in a war zone, a military working dog (MWD) and its handler live together, eat together, play together, sleep together, and risk their lives for each other every day. The dogs work with handlers in every branch of the US military. Experts say each military dog saves between one hundred fifty to two hundred soldiers during its working life. The dogs guard mlitary bases, sniff out concealed explosives and other weapons, and alert their handlers to hidden enemies"--dust jacket flap
