A riveting account of the hidden war in the mountains and cities of the world's most dangerous conflict and the comradeship between man and dog that has saved numerous lives.

In Afghanistan, sometimes all that stands between coalition troops and death or serious injury is a dog. Highly trained dogs and their handlers search for improvised explosive devices or hidden weapons out on patrol with combat troops. It's a perilous job, often putting them right in the firing line and making them high-priority targets for the Taliban insurgents they're fighting.

Shane Bryant, a former Australian Army dog handler, has spent four years in Afghanistan working with elite American special forces alongside his faithful dog. War Dogs is his story.

Learning about what Dog Handlers and their dogs ho through

Reviewed in Australia on 13 August 2020

I found the book very intriguing. Having served in the same unit of Combat Engineers as the author. It was interesting to hear what experiences he underwent. It certainly helped me get a much better understanding of what Dog Handlers and in turn civilian contractor go through. The story is easy to follow even for non military personnel. Enjoyed the book very much.

There's no way a 'layperson' can understand what anyone in the military goes through but this book goes a way towards explaining. Honest and compelling. It's time we knew and APPRECIATED what sacrifices are made for our country.

You have to be a dog lover

Reviewed in the United States on 3 February 2014

I am a dog lover. It was fascinating following the training of the dogs for various tasks, but this was not in detail. I was disappointed that the pair did nor come across explosives in the 4 years he was there and I began to get frustrated.

This story is based on a guy who is looking for his ulimate passion/ career working with dogs. He goes through different avenues to do so. He talks of the stress that working in war areas does to not only himself but also his family. He does sound a litle selfish in parts of the story i thought. Putting money before his family?? that was just my thoughts though

not about the canines

Reviewed in the United States on 6 May 2012

Verified Purchase

Hello, the preview that was sent seemed to suggest that this book was about the "dogs" i.e. canines, that are part of an armed force. I was disappointed that the book centred around the author's experiences and rarely included dogs. The antics and actions of canines were hardly mentioned.
