Riveting, Moving, Educational and Engaging!

This was my second purchase of this video. Having received my first tape years ago as a promotional for dog food products, it quickly became one of my students favorites each year. As more and more teachers borrowed it, my copy accidentally was misplaced and lost. Purchase number one occurred. After years of trying to manage all those requesting it, tape two was purchased. It is a moving story told by the veterans that worked with these dogs, with displays of actual footage of them working in Vietnam and training with the handlers. Moving, riveting, and engaging, students hang on to every piece of this video, coming away with more appreciation for the part dogs played in bringing our soldiers safely home. I keep looking for it in DVD!!!!

War Dogs.........Run to buy this movie!

As a Nam Vet who , at times , depended on these 4 legged wonders of god, I highly recommend buying this movie. I have purchased it multiple times and given copies to Local K-9 officers, Prior Nam Vets , organizations, police departments and other individuals. Our handling of these wonderfull creatures was abismal and unnessarry. I have a copy that I watch a least once a week so that it reinforces the way I treat people and all creatures on this planet.
I am not a seller so heres the bet....If you buy, you'll share it and buy it again to give to someone else who needs to enlightend. The only thing that this movie needs is to be released in DVD......NOW! Pass a hanky please ! Remember ...Dog spelled backwards is GOD!

I'm a very big man and this movie made me cry.

I first saw this on The Documentary Channel and pretty much cried through the whole thing. I worked at a military K9 kennel in Japan in 2002 and those dogs are truly incredible. I think however, that trainers should not be rotated if they bond. I think they should work with the same trainer and retire together as well. It's a crime that they would ever be seperated like a parent from child and it bewilders me that the military should want to even play the part of seperating such solid bonds of friendship and thereby creating such profound sorrow. Military dogs are soldiers and not inanimate objects like the m-16 is. They should not be viewed as government property in certain intances and I think they should consider creating an application preocess for the trainers to pay for a replacement dog and retire with his dog in certain cases, dammit !!!

" 'War Dogs' is an Unforgettable Learning Excperience"

I am a seventh grade English teacher and every year my classes study a Veterans Day unit. This video teaches an aspect of the humanity of the American soldier that nothing else I can present teaches. This video is compellingly compassionate towards treatment of animals in general, and specifically towards each of the featured dogs and their handlers in Viet Nam. Many of my students weep during the viewing of the video and no matter how many times I show it, I am always moved to tears. This video is so well loved it "disappeared" this year and I am frantic to replace it. I simply cannot teach the Veterans Day unit again without the slant this video provides, demonstrating graphically the emotional toll the dog handlers paid and the homage they continue to pay, these many years later, to the dogs who accompanied them in the jungles of Viet Nam. This video is tremendously AWESOME.

I am not one of the sellers; however, the folks from whom I bought this video were wonderful. I have seen this video on public TV and wanted a copy for personal reasons. I was a dog handler in DaNang, RVN, 1967-1968, and this production stands out above all the rest. I sincerely wish it were on DVD, but then we can't have everything ... unless we're in politics...or a banker...or a CEO. You may be able to tell that the '60's humor is far from gone from this old warrior/hippie. However, thank all of you who made procuring this video possible. I am forever in your debt. (Well, sort of. I did, indeed, pay for the video).
