Product Description

Product Description
Cracker works for the US army. She's a German shepherd dog trained to sniff out bombs, traps, and the enemy. The fate of entire platoons rests on her keen sense of smell. Rick Hanski is headed to Vietnam, where he plans to prove his dad wrong - and everyone else who thinks he isn't tough enough for war. But soon he can't help wondering if they were right...When Cracker is paired with Rick, she isn't too sure about her new handler. Is he up to the job? They need to be friends before they can become a team, and they've got to be a team if they want to get home alive...

5.0 out of 5 stars Courtesy of Teens Read Too, 5 Feb 2007

(TOP 100 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Cracker!: The Best Dog in Vietnam (Hardcover)
This book tells the story of a Vietnam hero. It's not your usual run-of-the-mill war story because it's told from two points of view. A young soldier named Rick Hanski and a German shepherd he trained for the military share the spotlight as they recount their adventures from training camp to active duty in the jungles of Vietnam.

Cracker and Rick are paired together in training to sniff out bombs, booby-traps, and enemy soldiers. Neither one is too sure of the other at first, but they eventually become inseparable friends and soldiers. Rick's goal is to prove his worth and "whip the world," and Cracker is by his side throughout the experience.

Cynthia Kadohata gives the reader detailed descriptions of the dog training process, as well as a view of the dog handler/animal relationship. The scenes set in Vietnam provide a close-encounter type look that makes the reader feel part of the action.

Cracker is a book for anyone with a love and respect for the intelligence of animals and an interest in how they can interact with and serve humanity.
