Noble Canine

Search for the Edge

Beschreibung

A gripping and telling memoir of a young U.S. Air Force enlistee during the Vietnam War who served as a Sentry Dog Handler. The airman weaves an intimate tale of friendships and rivalries, bravery and fears, and the bonds between men and their dogs. They trained and worked together as a team and protected military personnel and machines from attack. This is a behind-the-scenes portrayal-from nightly guard duty at Phu Cat Air Base to off-time in city bars and back alleys.

Autor

For me, the lives led by the canine handlers-that is, the U. S. Air Force Sentry Dog Handlers-and their noble canines, continued for twelve months (365 nights). Every day I counted the nights until my very own Freedom Bird arrived to take me home. My dog Junior would be dead by December 1970-used up and discarded like all broken weapons. Four thousand noble canine gave all; they all gave all. This will never happen again; it must not happen again. It was so wasteful and disrespectful of all animal-kind. German shepherds were work-horses in Vietnam, and many of them were simply worked to death. Never again! Jimmie Moore and his wife Virginia live in Florida.
