As a dog dad and dog rescuer, I love to read stories about people rescuing dogs, and I just enjoyed a book about a Marine in Afghanistan who met a special dog he named "Fred" and bonded with. The book, "Craig and Fred" is a true story written by Craig Grossi, the marine who Fred found in a war zone. Craig explains how this scrappy dog bonded with him during the Taliban war in Afghanistan, and how Craig when through hoops to get Fred to the U.S. to wait for him.
The chapters take you through Craig's war-time experiences and some are heart-wrenching. Alternative chapters take place after Craig returned home and reunited with Fred, then took a cross- country journey.
It's a wonderful book and there are great photos in the back of the book. Craig learned what dog parents learn- there's nothing like the unconditional love of a dog. Get the book and enjoy it! - Rob
