5.0 out of 5 starsMust read
By flhtse05 on April 19, 2013
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
Being a Viet Nam Dog Handler I was very interested in Mike's book of todays war dogs. Mike does a great job of explaining the bond between the handler and the dog. We were not allowed to bring our dogs home when we left Nam and I spent the last two days in country in my dog's (BRUNO) kennel. That was 40 years ago and I still think of Bruno. Thank you Mike for sharing, thank you for your service active and now supplying dogs to the military. The lives saved by these brave warriors is countless. The men who have served with them know what they mean to the "Team".

5.0 out of 5 starsGood Read
By Amazon Customer on April 17, 2013
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
This book is an easy, enjoyable read. I've read several books about Navy Seals and several more on the topic of Military Working Dogs. This book is definitely a favorite as it merges the two. The book details the highly refined process of developing some of the best trained dogs in the world for dangerous, life-threatening missions. While it does focus more on the training and development of the Military Working Dogs than it does the training and development of Navy Seals, Mike Ritland goes into great detail discussing the relationship that these dogs and their handlers develop, while providing interesting, real-world stories along the way. I'd recommend this book to anyone interested in Seals or MWDs.

5.0 out of 5 starsFellow Teammate
By Brandon Webb on April 15, 2013
Format: Hardcover
I've known Mike since we graduated BUD/S Class 215 together. He's an incredible individual with a passion for training these amazing animals.

I give most my teammates, but not all, honest reviews on their books. This one is no exception, and I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in what goes into training these incredible four-legged teammates.

Great work Mike.

5.0 out of 5 starsAwesome read!!!!
By Elizabeth Chandler on April 17, 2013
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
Easy to read. Very informative on positive reinforcement training . Doesn't sugar coat what these dogs are bred and used for. But also shows how they can be integrated into families and other professions. I respect and admire his dedication to making sure the dogs are well placed throughout their entire lives.

This book is a must buy! It accurately depicts life as a military working dog, and as a handler. I highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in the military, or is just curious about life as a MWD handler

2.0 out of 5 starsPoorly Written
By D Hnizdil on July 6, 2013
Format: Hardcover
Reading other reviews,especially the ones highly rating this book, made me wonder if I was reading the same book. I chose this book because of the story it was to tell. I have an interest in the story of mwd and special operations. So this was an all in one so to speak.

The content of the book kept me pulled in the book while the writing and construction was doing its best to push me out. In particular was the author's pervasive use of play by play. "I am now going to tell you about..." Or the author reminding me what I just read 10 pages previously.

Doing so insults the intelligence of the reader. The content is not so dense and complex that it requires such literary tools especially for an adult audience. If book was written for a much younger audience then I can see the need for it.

Furthermore I get that the dogs selected and trained for the teams are elite in the mwd world and the domesticated pet world. However the author belabored this point too many times. I got it the first time. The authors repeating such fundamental understanding insults the adult reader.

Not sure if my disappointment should be focused on Mike Ritland, an elite warrior trying to tell an honorable story, or Gary Brozek who is a trained and experienced writer with numerous books to his credit.

The story in the book is compelling. The writing is amateurish.

2.0 out of 5 starsWasn't looking for tips on how to train a dog
By TEMS Medic on May 17, 2013
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
Pretty rare that I give up on reading a book, but this one almost earned that distinction. If I still had my dog, or was planning on getting another dog, I'd rate it "4-stars", but if you aren't interested in a dog training primer, then save your money. Very scant on action/adrenaline, and more than a few of the stories that are included are from training in the US. Typical diversions into the lives of few of the men behind the dogs, which is understandable, but not why I bought the book. THANK heaven that he spared us yet another blow-by-blow of BUD/S, which so many SEAL books drag us through. THAT earned him an extra "star".
