This is such a sweet book! I had been having a hard time with books lately (a few hits many misses), this book was just what I needed. Inspiring and uplifting! Fred is adorable! Not nearly as much language as other military memoirs, which I appreciate. One of those books that I would recommend to just about everyone, especially dog lovers. Would make a great gift as well. A great Veteran's Day read.
