I read this book in one sitting. Wow what a amazing book to read. Again, I just have to say my love of military books is a good one. However when I think of these types of books, I don't hardly ever think of the dogs fighting along side our military people. That is a shame. After reading this book and getting a really good idea of what these dogs do and the importance they play in helping our military forces win wars, I will always remember these dogs from now on. Also, when I thank our military people, I will also thank the dogs as well.

I thought that Mr. Ritland did a great job explaining his job of training dogs. He broke the training down into all the different areas of training from picking the right dog from birth to traits to look for, training in the field, and even retirement. Mr. Ritland would explain everything that he was doing with the dogs in a way that I got a good visual. Also, when I see there are pictures I usually go right to them right away. However reading this book that did not happen. That is because I was too busy reading everything before the pictures. This book would make the perfect gift for everyone. Trident K9 Warriors is top notch! ( )

I never had a dog before my mobility assist service dog was placed with me 5 years ago. I've read a lot about working dogs in the interim. This book was special. Beyond detection, these Special Operations Force dogs do the most amazing things. Written by a former navy seal who now trains dogs to become military working dogs. I listened to the audio version and it, too, was really well done. ( )

TRIDENT K9 WARRIORS written by Mike Ritland with Gary Brozek. Read by Jeff Gurner is an interesting history/Military/Pets & Animal care/Afghan War. "My tale from the training ground to the battlefield with elite Navy Seal Canines". What an interesting and informative story of K9's and the man they work with in the Military field. These Military canines are highly intelligent,very motivated,brave, risk takers,smart, and very powerful. A wonderful history on Military working canines and the Navy Seals. "Trident K9 Warriors" is very educational,informative,and great to listen to. Animals lovers,Military Enthusiast,and every day heroes will enjoy this audio. Received for an honest review from the publisher.

*Be warned does have profanity throughout*

RATING: 4

HEAT RATING:Mild: Due to profanity.

Epigraph
Dedication
This book is dedicated to the brotherhood, and the loyal hounds that help keep them safe.
First words
Introduction: The tense silence was broken only by the sound of the MH-60s rotors and blades beating like a quickened pulse.
The dog lay in the shade of a stunted palm tree, his head up and his ears at attention.
