Lessons From A Sheepdog: A True Story Of Transforming Love
by: Keller, Phillip
What you see is not always what you get - and this true story of a man
and his dog is no exception. Woven just under the surface of this simple
parable, Keller presents profound spiritual truth. It is the story of
Lass, a worthless animal thought to be untrainable, who becomes a magnificent
and valuable sheepdog - not terribly unlike how God's love can transform
our worst characteristics into blessings that serve to further His Kingdom.

None Came Home: The War Dogs of Vietnam
by: O'Donnell, John E.
This is the dramatic story of a young American G.I. who finds himself
away from home for the first time in the faraway battlefields of Vietnam.
Realizing his situation, he encounters a way to better his chances for
survival. After a demonstration, the youth volunteers for duty in a very
little known unit, the K-9 Corps, and is immediately paired with an equally
inexperienced 13-month-old German Shepherd named King. We will follow
these two partners through their training, growth, and baptism of fire.
The binding devotion and love that grows between this young man and his
dog allow them to face the overwhelming odds and obstacles placed before
them in their fight for survival and a return passage to the homes they
once knew. In a foreign country and climate, boy and dog must face the
natural dangers and predators of the jungle terrain, the rainy monsoon
season, sweltering heat, and what was considered at the time the "worlds
most prolific jungle warfare fighting army on earth." Trust was crucial,
for the survival of both canine and human soldier depended on it. As the
partnership matures, each soldiers promise to send the other home
provides the foundation for a growing devotion that directs their course
and provides the strength to overcome their fears and doubts. This is
their story. 182 pgs.
