description: An up-close look at the life of a nineteen-year-old dog handler assigned to protect one of America's largest air bases during the Vietnam War. Adams focuses on the special bonds between the sentries and their dogs and among the dog handlers themselves, rather than on the blood and mud of battle. These heroic teams saved more than 10,000 American lives, yet, at war's end, the dogs were declared surplus equipment and were either destroyed or turned over to the South Vietnamese military. This book is intended to honor all those who served.
