"The powerful true story of a SEAL Team Six member and military dog handler, and the dog that saved his life. Two dozen Navy SEALs descended on Osama bin Laden's compound in May 2011. After the mission, only one name was made public: Cairo, a Belgian Malinois and military working dog. This is Cairo's story, and that of his handler, Will Chesney, a member of SEAL Team Six whose life would be irrevocably tied to Cairo's. Starting in 2008, when Will was introduced to the DEVGRU canine program, he and Cairo worked side by side, depending on each other for survival on hundreds of critical operations in the war on terrorism. But their bond transcended their service. Then, in 2011, the call came: Pick up your dog and get back to Virginia. Now. What followed were several weeks of training for a secret mission. It soon became clear that this was no ordinary operation. Cairo was among the first members of the U.S. military on the ground in Pakistan as part of Operation Neptune Spear, which resulted in the successful elimination of bin Laden. As Cairo settled into a role as a reliable "spare dog," Will went back to his job as a DEVGRU operator, until a grenade blast in 2013 left him with a brain injury and PTSD. Unable to participate in further missions, he suffered from crippling migraines, chronic pain, memory issues, and depression. Modern medicine provided only modest relief. Instead, it was up to Cairo to save Will's life once more-and then up to Will to be there when Cairo needed him the most"--… (altro)

An interesting read about the training of Navy SEALS and this SEAL who spent some time deploying as a dog handler. The book was very linear, detailing Wes' progression from high school to achieving a position as a Navy SEAL & then deploying to Afghanistan. It was also fairly repetitive. I picked it up because I was most interested in the dog and dog handling. That was the best part of the book, but the majority of the book did not focus on the dog. I'm glad to know this story which helped me understand some of the rigors and challenges of becoming a SEAL and the extreme dangers all our elite military units regularly face. It was nice to know his whole story, I just wish it had included more about military dogs. ( )

This is a book about a dog and you know what happens when dogs are in a book. Keep the kleenex handy! That being said I found this book interesting as Will Chesney describes going into the Navy and working his way into SEAL training and becoming a SEAL. He tells of his deployments and how he became a dog handler for his SEAL team. As he tells of the training he underwent before and with Cairo, his Belgian Malinois, I was surprised how extensive his training was. As he talks of his deployments in Iran and Afghanistan, I felt a lot a respect for what he went through. I found him a humble man who just said this is how it was and this is how I handled it. There was no "Look how strong I am. Look at brave I am." He just stated what happened with no embellishments. He gave Cairo credit for how Cairo helped him accomplish his missions. He showed the partnership/friendship between the two. When it came time to go after Bin Laden, they did the jobs they needed to do to bring an end to a terrorist. This book is a quick read but harder towards the end when both come to the end of their time in the Navy. It is well worth reading for everyone. ( )

Listened to the audiobook which was narrated by the author. Loved learning about his gruelling Seal training, loved learning about the MWDs (military war dogs) and how people should never forget that they are attack dogs. It has a great mixture of seriousness and humour. If not for the profanity I would have allowed students to read it. The language however is offensive at times, but always in a believable way. I believe there is a children’s version of this book. I loved learning about Cairo and the role he played as a Seal team member. ( )
