5.0 out of 5 stars
wonder, gripping tale,
By A Customer
This review is from: Ebony & White (Paperback)
This book not only is informative abouut the K-9 corps in Nam, but is a story about a man and his experience in the army. White showed that one can make mistakes and still come back from everything. I strongly suggest that anyone who has any interests in war, K-9's, or a great tale should read this book. It is an easy and quick read. Well worth every penny!

This is a book with a purpose about Dogs of War,
By A Customer
This review is from: Ebony & White (Paperback)
This is a chilling account of White's army experience. In the early 60's he was drafted into the army as a rebellious and reluctant teenager and sent to Vietnam. Plunged into mountain guerilla warfare, he spent months in the jungle as a "point man".
Finally he was transferred to a Scout Dog Platoon, where he met Ebony, the black German Shepherd that was to become his devoted companion. His intense attachment to Ebony is touchingly conveyed. His account of the war is horrifying, and the terror, tension and appaling conditions. Patricia Bennet Hoffman writing in The Northwest Canine Companion

A heart rendering tale of loyalty and affection,
By A Customer
This review is from: Ebony & White (Paperback)
They saved thousands of soldiers but America left the K-9 vetereans of the Vietnam war behind to die of neglect chained to their kennels.
The author relates how his dog, Ebony, led him and platoons of men safely thru the jungle. Now White is is the president of the National War Dogs Memorial Fund and trying to raise money to honor the canine heroes who were turned over to the Vietnamese.
Frank Mainville writing in April 21st, 1996 edition of the Lansing State Journal
