At the beginning of the program, without a ready supply of dogs to train, the U.S. government asked civilians throughout the region to volunteer their dogs for service. Thousands answered the call, and their pets served our country courageously as guards, scouts, messengers, sled runners, and more. Told from the point of view of Major, a border collie based on a real dog from North Dakota, Major: A Soldier Dog tells the incredible story of the War Dog program through his eyes, following him through the heartbreaking separation from his family, the training at Fort Robinson, his harrowing war service in Italy, his return home for detraining and discharge, and finally the tearful reunion with his family."--Amazon. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Dogs $x War use $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Dogs $v Juvenile fiction. 651 0 $a Fort Robinson (Neb.) $v Juvenile fiction. 700 1 $a Hai, Ming $c (Illustrator), $e illustrator. 941 $a 3 952 $l GKPC851 $d 20230228020804.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722061954.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20201006011814.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4C00E356079911EB91AE0FFD35ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
