Description

The thrilling and inspiring story of a U.S. Marine and his dog Rex, a bomb sniffing German Shepard, who forged a bond of believe and loyalty even as serving at the war-torn streets of Iraq’s most dangerous city.

Called “a deeply affecting tale of courage and devotion within the cauldron of war” by Publishers Weekly, Sergeant Mike Dowling’s heart-pounding account of an unbreakable bond between man and dog takes us into the searing 130-degree heat, the choking dust, and the ubiquitous threat of violent attack in Iraq’s infamous Triangle of Death. In 2004, Dowling and his military working dog Rex were a part of the first Marine Corps military K9 teams sent to the front lines of combat since Vietnam. It used to be Rex’s job to smell out weapons caches, suicide bombers, and IEDs, the devastating explosives that wreaked havoc on troops and civilians. It used to be Mike’s job to guide Rex into the heart of danger. An atypical chronicle of loyalty within the face of terrible adversity, Sergeant Rex is an unforgettable story of sacrifice, courage, and love.
