Finding Jack/Gareth Crocker/289 pgs
This story is about a man who volunteers during the Vietnam war for all the wrong reasons - mainly he feels he has nothing to live for. While there he finds a wounded dog who he nurses back to health and the dog is then adopted by the men in his patrol and put to work. This all is taking place at the end of the war and when they are told they are leaving but the dog Jack must remain behind, Fletcher decides to take matters into his own hands. It is not a story about the man saving the dog but about how they each saved each other and reminds you why they say that the dog is man's best friend!
