Excellent

Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2012

As a former MWD Team member, I relived my own training at Lackland - although I was not in Vietnam, I did serve in Korea and Italy with my dogs. While VW was winding down, dogs were treated as equipment and a handler picked up one of the dogs assigned to the base while stationed there.

Sgt. O'Donnell's book reminded me of so many of my own partners and the "adventures" we went through.

I have used this book to "explain" to my family/friends why I feel the way I do about my K-9 partners and the kind of training/job we did during our military commitments.

During my military service, dogs were used at the base by handlers until age or illness deteriorated the dog, then s/he was "put down by the green needle" by our vet. Handlers always said the last good-bye.

Sgt. O'Donnell and his companions and their partners - God bless you and thank you for your military service that allowed me and my family the freedoms we have.

This is a memoir about a 17year old kid in the K-9 Corps who went to Vietnam with the dog he had trained and the exploits of the dog in actual combat. People who like nostalgia will like the author's talking about what a friend the dog was, and how he talked to the dog, confiding in him as if the dog were a person. I didn't know there were thousands of dogs in the K-9 Corps in Vietnam, nor did I know the US Government's shameful abandoning of those dogs when we pulled out of Vietnam. The Government wouldn't evacuate these loyal, fearless dogs who saved so many lives of servicemen.

I wonder if there are K-9 units in Iraq and Afghanistan, and, if there are, we should contact our Congressmen and tell them that when their tours of duty are over, the dogs belong back in the US, not left to starve to death in the enemy's land.

Dogs are the only mammals who do not flee in the face of danger if their masters are in peril. Dogs willingly stand and will even attack superior forces in order to protect the people they love. Few humans would do for others what dogs will do for their humans.

BTW, the title isn't totally accurate. A few K-9 Handlers managed to smuggle their dogs home. The others were left to die slowly from starvation or to be tortured and killed by the Vietnamese. (The Vietnamese eat dogs and truss them with their legs ripped out of their sockets so they can be tied on their backs,leaving them that way alive and suffering horribly until they're ready to be butchered. And this is in peacetime in open markets. How do I know? I've seen pictures from organizations who battle cruelty to animals.)

Is this from a Rambo movie?

Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2014

I like the book as it tells the story of his being assigned the dog at Lackland AFB to his first assignment in Vietnam. I worked a dog name Frey and Nakhan Phanom RTAB and he was my first dog as I trained via the OJT program. I went through all the same scenes he did as Frey was my best partner ever. No combat, but he was the best.
My only problem with the book is the part covering the rescue attempt of the dogs. It felt like a scene from a Rambo movie rather that a scenario that could have actually took place. Loved the rest of the book and if the author can contact me to authenticate, great.

Update 4-17-2012:Waiting for a couple new books to ship I re-read "None Came Home". In my opinion this was one of the greatest books I have ever read. Although I remember most of the accounts in the book it dragged me in again, as if it was the first time reading it. I hung onto every word and pictured the scenes as they played out.
When im finished reading a book I always pass it along for others to enjoy. This book and "Guns Up" however are staying with me. I will gladly purchase more copies as gifts but no one is going to get mine! Haha.
I would love to meet Mr. O'Donnell and shake his hand and thank him not only for his service but his valiant effort at attempting to bringing these amazing soldiers home.

Interesting from the point of view of the war dogs

Not a great book, but I found it interesting and showed the value of the dogs of war. It was a shame that many if not most of these dogs were left behind.

Fantastic Story and a Great Cause

Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2013

I've been reading books about military dogs lately and I've read some pretty good ones. This book tells a great story and the author's words strike me as being very honest. What happened to most of the dogs in Vietnam was an inexplicable tragedy. Proceeds form this book go the War Dog Foundation (or something like that, I don't have the book with me at the moment). Oddly enough, the text was not proof read. There are spelling mistakes and grammar issues, but the story is phenomenal. It would make a great movie (as long as Hollywood wasn't involved). Well worth the read.
