Download or read book The Brave Dogs written by Kenny Fitzgerald and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2002 with total page 618 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spain, in the opening years of the 16th century, a country bruised and tattered by 700 years of war, is the setting for this novel of historical fantasy. The Moors have finally been driven out of the peninsula and Isabel and Fernando, rulers of the recently united Spanish kingdom, have cast their eyes westward toward the new lands discovered under their sponsorship by Cristóbol Colón. Young men at the birth of this new century of hope dream of following the early explorers and seeking their fame and fortune. The Brave Dogs is a story about a group of brothers preparing to become conquistadors. In the hot dusty fields near their homes in Extremadura they practice with wooden swords, developing their fighting skills and an unconquerable faith in themselves and their destinies as warriors. Equal to their own preparation for war, they train their dogs, their Perros Bravos, to assist them in battle. Though vicious and deadly against an enemy, these dogs demonstrate a priceless loyalty and devotion to their masters. Man and dog are bonded in a mystical way that makes their association a partnership. Despite the fact that canines have been used for thousands of years as an important element in warfare, the dogs of these young Spaniards are special, bred from a Dogo Canario (Presa Canario) saved from a roaring river by the chief protagonist, Pedro de Alvarado, and a mastiff descended from the breeds brought to the country by the Roman Legions. The story is narrated by Rodrigo Sosa, cousin to the Alvarado brothers. He relates the adventures that he shares with his idol Pedro and the transformation he witnesses in him. At the same time, he becomes aware of changes in himself as he gains confidence in his own abilities and becomes a hero in his own right. The Brave Dogs is about honor and loyalty. It is about comradeship and faith. It is about true poetic love between men and women who learn to share together a special magic wrought in the alchemical fusion of doves and roses and words.

Download or read book Soldier Dogs written by Maria Goodavage and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2012-12-31 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A leading reporter offers a tour of military working dogs' extraordinary training, heroic accomplishments, and the lasting impacts they have on those who work with them. People all over the world have been riveted by the story of Cairo, the Belgian Malinois who was a part of the Navy SEAL team that led the raid on Osama bin Laden's compound. A dog's natural intelligence, physical abilities, and pure loyalty contribute more to our military efforts than ever before. You don't have to be a dog lover to be fascinated by the idea that a dog-the cousin of that furry guy begging for scraps under your table-could be one of the heroes who helped execute the most vital and high-tech military mission of the new millennium. Now Maria Goodavage, editor and featured writer for one of the world's most widely read dog blogs, tells heartwarming stories of modern soldier dogs and the amazing bonds that develop between them and their handlers. Beyond tales of training, operations, retirement, and adoption into the families of fallen soldiers, Goodavage talks to leading dog-cognition experts about why dogs like nothing more than to be on a mission with a handler they trust, no matter how deadly the IEDs they are sniffing, nor how far they must parachute or rappel from aircraft into enemy territory. "Military working dogs live for love and praise from their handlers," says Ron Aiello, president of the United States War Dogs Association and a former marine scout dog handler. "The work is all a big game, and then they get that pet, that praise. They would do anything for their handler." This is an unprecedented window into the world of these adventurous, loving warriors.
