I served in Afghanistan with the TEDD (Tactical Explosives Detection Dog) program. My K9's name was Fantom and he saved a good number of lives on my tour (including my own), not to mention the lives he saved on his other tours with other handlers.
I have a fascination with the dogs and handlers from WW2 to Vietnam because the majority of those men were Infantrymen as apposed to the Military Police who mainly work MWD's nowadays. It's a very cool feeling to see the pictures in this book of the 26th IPSD men wearing Combat Infantry Badges with their dogs right there next to them knowing I have the same pictures of myself with the the same breed of war dog wearing the same combat badge in a similar war zone.
Anyways, it's an outstanding book on the history of the platoon in WW2 and Korea. Lots of historical accounts and story's about the dogs and handlers directly saving lives. Great pictures too, although the kindle edition degrades the quality of most the photos. I'll end up buying a paper copy soon enough to pass down to my kids someday. I recommend this book to anyone fascinated by war dogs and their handlers. These teams saved countless lives.
