Molestias iusto et sed numquam.

I took this out from the library to read with Julia. Anything animal-related is interesting to her and she's been interested in the subject of war dogs ever since she first heard of them. We took this and another, similar book out and saved this for last. Obviously it's not the easiest subject to read about so after finished the first one I decided Julia should wait to read more for the moment. My OCD just wouldn't allow me to return it without reading it so.... I did. Yesterday afternoon. It's easily written and under 100 pages so it's definitely fast. But if you're an animal lover it will move you. I think for the age group this is directed towards it's one of the best. Sanderson definitely gives good background, from which country first used dogs in war (Germany) to their job today (many, many), it's covered. She gives general information as well as personal stories an there are even a few photos included. If you've read about war dogs before picking this up you'll find some things you remember. I doubt anyone could read a book on war dogs, adult or child, without learning about Stubby. He might be the most well known of all. (Side-note - there is a photo of Stubby included that may not bother everyone but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't want my daughter to see.) It's not graphic but it is a photo of Stubby's stuffed body, wearing the decorated coat he wore on duty, that was then displayed at the Smithsonian. I personally think this is disgusting. I'm aware it's a body, a shell if you will, and that Stubby was long gone but it still bothers me. We can remember Stubby without this gruesomeness. IMO. If you've done any reading you've probably heard of Caesar and seen the pictures of him being carried on a hastily put together stretcher by his fellow soldiers. The famous picture of Eisenhower meeting (and being bit on the hand by) Chips is here. So is well known picture of soldiers and their devil-dogs exiting a boat onto a beach in a run. Nemo and Andy are also writ
