Robert and Sandra wrote this book to honor the men and dogs who served with the 26th Infantry Scout Dog Platoon during World War Two and Korea. Only about 180 men and maybe 90 dogs served in this small unit during this entire time period. The dogs did not get to rotate home, and served more than one master. These men and dogs were credited with saving numerous lives. Some of their stories are told in "Cold Noses, Brave Hearts: Dogs and Men of the 26th Infantry Scout Dog Platoon".

Absolutely amazing historical account of the 26th IPSD during WW2 and Korea

ByCasey R.on January 8, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

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.

I think the book is interesting - and gives me a better understanding about how important dogs are to our soldiers. I read about this book in Reminisce magazine. The author's son graduated from high school with my son-in-law; they are friends, and EMTs in a rural area.

What a great history of these great 4 legged warriors during WWII and Korea. Every MWD Handler and those that adopt these outstanding 4 legged warriors should take the time to read this and see the history how the K9's got there start...
