I’m going to be 100% upfront – I didn’t finish this book. I
didn’t even get 20% into it. Here’s why:
I’m a dog lover. I am aware of what happened to many of the
K-9s at the end of the Vietnam War. It’s extremely sad and heartbreaking. I’m
not sure where I got this idea, but I thought this book was going to be more
stories of Jim with his dog, Ricky. It’s more of a history of how dogs were
used during the war.
In the brief reading I did of this book, I almost cried
multiple times. Knowing many dogs starved or died from not given time to adjust
to the weather crushed me. In general, I get more upset when dogs are killed
than people in movies.
The writing itself wasn’t bad, but this book was definitely not for me. I put it down before it got any worse. The Vietnam War was tragic for everyone involved, both men and dogs. I just couldn’t bring myself to read about it.
