4.0 out of 5 stars war dog is a good book, November 30, 2006

A Kid's Review

This review is from: War Dog (Hardcover)

I liked the book War Dog because I like war themed things, dogs, and also animals. War Dog is a good book because it shows the love for the dog, and shows many different views of war. It was cool how Jet, the dog, could sniff out enemies and survivors of war. It is a fun and interesting book to read.

5.0 out of 5 stars A realistic and exciting story for dog lovers, June 12, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: War Dog (Hardcover)

This novel was one of the best books I've read in a while. The main character is a black labrador named Jet who is seperated from her owner when he's arrested for poaching right before WWII. Jet is requisitioned by the Army and begins her adventure in Dunkirk where she and Turpin (her new handler) fight against the Germans. She is soon moved to England and then to Italy where she saves many lives and becomes a hero. There weren't any dull parts in the story, and I also learned a lot of history. I'd recommend this story to anyone, young or old, who loves animals and happy endings.

This review is from: War Dog (Hardcover)

If your like me and love dogs this book is an amazing book for you. The book is about an army that is going to war aginst Germany and there leting dogs be in it. This is how Jet, the dog, got in to the army. At the begening Jets origanal owner was a poacher, someone who hunts in a way that is aginst the law. One day when he was poaching with Jet the police caught him and took him to jail and Jet was put in a cage and Turnip was looking for a dog because he was in the army and he needed a dog and Jet had been turned down several times so Turnip took Jet and used her in the army. Turnip had'nt knoun Jet was a pouching dog so she was already trained. So one day when they were training the dogs the captian saw Jet and Turnip training and the captian was impressed so he said they were going to war. In war Jet and Turnip were both shot but they made it and Americ, after a long hard war, defeated Germany.
