BECOMING K-9: A bomb dog's memoir

Summary

"Until you hoomans learn to sniff each other's butts so you can read each other's thoughts, you'll need us, dogs, to guide you, love you and set you straight." Corporal K-9 Guinness

Kirkus Review: Excitement, tears, and many chuckles in a winning story about a courageous K-9.

"Guinness is an irresistible lead character—smart and steadfast but also soulful and delightfully snarky. While the narrative offers adventure and some tragedy throughout, it also delivers humor and great tenderness. The scenes in Afghanistan, where Guinness is eventually deployed, are portrayed with a visceral grittiness. Readers can practically taste the ever present dust permeating the barren landscape. This is Jones’ first volume in her K-9 Heroes series, and it is a lovely tribute to the brave canine officers in the military." 

Reader reviews:

"I laughed, I cried and really enjoyed reading this book. I couldn’t put it down."
