This is the best book about the dogs and dog handlers I have read. Other books I've read seem to be stories that could have been written by anyone who'd heard about the situation. In "None Came Home" it was clear that this author was involved and he gave a human/dog perspective. Many of the other books told of battles more than the "dog" story. I will read this book again and again. (and cry each time.)

5.0 out of 5 stars On Working Through Trauma: A Vietnam Combat Handler's Vision, June 14, 2003

By 

Annie Harris (America) - See all my reviews

This review is from: None Came Home: The War Dogs of Vietnam (Hardcover)

Mr. O'Donnell is a verified USAF Vietnam Combat Veteran/K-9 Sentry Dog Handler who served in U-Tapao, Thailand during his active duty service. SGT O'Donnell's novel represents a dream of what could have been done to restore order from the powerless trauma of what had to be done regarding the U.S. Government's requirement to abandon K-9s at the end of the Vietnam War. It is a poignant piece criss-crossed with hope and hopelessness and potentially represents the way many US K-9 and MWD Teams felt at that time in history. The perceived anguish, search for understanding as well as a means to salute those K-9 counterparts is an excellent read and worth consideration by all individuals familiar with those events in our Nation's history or who experienced similar feelings first-hand of the loss of the K-9s who were and continue to be among our most outstanding yet most unsung heroes throughout all branches of the Armed Forces in all aspects and in all countries involved within the Vietnam War Combat Zone.

This book was as well written and amazing as it was sad. I dont understand why this story was not created into a feature movie. Not only would it be a blockbuster it would let the world know how these amazing animals that saved countless lives were left behind as "government property".
