Book Reviews of From Baghdad, With Love : A Marine, the War, and a Dog Named Lava

Heart-wrenching in many ways, you will never forget the story of a furry little refugee's rescue from war-torn Iraq.

A DOG LOVERS TALE OF HOPE AND TENDERNESS IN THE MDST OF WAR

A wonderful true story about a marine who finds a dog during a raid and decides to keep and raise the dog (though regulations say that no one is allowed a pet or a mascot or even to feed stray animals). The hardships these two face as human and animal are heartbreaking and what they have to go through to keep Lava secret and hidden from top brass. It makes you realize just how much those men and women go through over there and how even feeding the stray animals can brighten their day. This is a heart wrenching story on what true love can do to a person and how animals really can affect us for the better.

Would have liked to hear more about the pup once he made it here, but a good read none the less.

Great read about saving a pup in Iraq.

This was a really good book. A must read for dog lovers out there. My only complaint was that it ended too abruptly. I would have liked to read about Lava's life after Iraq.

This was a great book (if tough to read because of the wrenching subject of the Iraq war) about salvaging something good from a bad situation. It also helped me better understand the conditions both US troops, and Iraqi civilians are facing day-to-day in Iraq.

Very Very good book....if this book doesan't touch you in some way the first time you read it then read it until it does.

Anyone that has fallen in love, the furry kind, will appreciate this true tale of a Marine that goes all soft when he meets a puppy named "lava" during his tour in Iraq. The contrast between the senseless violence of the war and the love he feels for Lava is striking and you'll be rooting for them to find a way to reunite with every page you turn.

A must read for any dog lover.

FANTASTIC BOOK,I LOVED IT.
