Nubs, an Iraqi dog of war, never had a home or a person of his own. But his
life changes when he meets Marine Major Brian Dennis. The two form a fast
friendship, made stronger by Brian's willingness to share his meals, offer a
warm place to sleep, and give Nubs the kind of care and attention he's never
received before. Nubs becomes part of Dennis's human "pack" until duty
requires the Marines to relocate a full 70 miles away--without him. 

So Nubs sets out through the freezing desert to find his friend. Two days
later, Nubs walks into the camp. But because Marine regulations prohibit the
keeping of pets in a war zone, Brian and his men collect donations and
arrange to send Nubs to live with friends in the United States, where they
eventually reunite in 2008. 

"This is a wonderful story of the mutual devotion and the warm bond found
between people and their pets... with a twist. My 7 year old son, as soon as
we finished, said it best: 'Dad, that was a great story!'"
-B. Franklin, Florida
