Loved this book! Kept my interest the whole way through. The fact that it was a true story about serving time in Afghanistan, and of course the dog, made it so interesting. I highly recommend it!

A truly heart warming story.

In my opinion, this is a book well worth reading! For those who love animals, you soon learn the love you show to your animal friend is returned to you in abundance. This is the story of Craig and Fred who developed a bond so strong in Afghanistan that it fortifies them both through war and life. It is a true love story, who’s lessons can apply to today’s world of social unrest between various peoples. The writing style is very effective in defusing the emotional heaviness of war with the positive powerfulness of life. Thank you, Craig, for bringing this story to the world at large and helping us to somewhat understand the needs of returning veterans. P.S. Here’s a virtual salute to “Sergeant” Fred!

Beautifully written Craig and I’m so proud of all you have done. My two brothers served together in Vietnam and I cannot imagine what it must be like. God bless!!!

I read this book in two days. I just love it. Craig and Fred are survivors.

Wonderfully engrossing!

This is the greatest dog rescue story I’ve ever read! If I could rate it a 10 stars, I would. Fascinating story for anyone to read. Military supporters and animal lovers will love this story! Great work Craig!! Fred you are awesome!!

As a civilian with no military experience, the only hope I have of understanding even a little bit about PTSD is hearing about each individual’s experiences, or at least the ones that they are willing to share with another person, group, or in a this case, the world. As a dog lover, and supporter of service dogs for veterans challenged both physically and mentally, this book shines a bright light on just how critically important these animals are in assisting those needing help greeting each day. That Craig was blessed to meet and befriend a fully capable service dog (no training required...good boy!) in the dust of Afghanistan makes for a compelling tale of friendship and unconditional love, not only between man and dog, but also among the soldiers and friends that populate this excellent memoir. Every person should be as lucky to find their own Fred.

A touching story that touched me in so many ways. Thank you Craig and Fred.

So many stories are full of sad times, this one will warm your heart. SEMPER FI, Craig &Fred Bill W USMC
