Navy SEAL Dogs: My Tale of Training the Canines / Mike Ritland / 190 pages / 8 Maids a Milking December Challenge

This book, written by a former Navy SEAL, is chock full of facts about fantastic four-legged indomitable warriors - Navy SEAL dogs.  Mr. Ritland now trains dogs for combat and includes specific training suggestions and several accounts of dogs in action.  Belgian Malinois possess both traits necessary to be multi-purpose Navy SEAL dogs - a hyper prey drive and a hyper hunt drive.  They cost about $50,000 to train and only 1 in 10,000 makes the grade. I found the cover art captivating, the text a bit slow and perhaps too detail oriented. The anecdotal accounts were both interesting and inspiring.
