A BOOK HARD TO FIND IN NICE CONDITION. Reminding us that not all heroes are human this first followup to Bertrand Shurtleff's very popular AWOL tells the stories of two other dogs in the United States Army's K-9 Corp. Spareribs is a funny-looking messenger dog of questionable pedigree and Husky, a magnificent specimen of the breed for which he is named, is trained to accompany reconnaissance parties. While Husky and Spareribs may be fictional, their stories are representational of the roughly twenty thousand brave and patriotic pooches who served in the United States Army, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard during the Second World War.
