Maria Goodavage, New York Times bestselling author of Soldier Dogs, offers another heartwarming and remarkable true tale of the bravery and loyalty of man’s best friend. This audiobook centers on the powerful bond that Lucca and Marine Corps handler Chris Willingham formed throughout their 400 mission career. Lucca is part of the Specialized Search Dog group that is trained to work with their handlers off the leash and operate from long distances as well.

“If you like dogs and also like military history this is the book for you! I found this book to be well written and interesting from a story line standpoint. It is the story of a single dog, and follows the dog and its trainer/handlers from when it enters US military service, and after discharge, until the present.” – Docq
