Cracker! The Best Dog in Vietnam

by Cynthia Kadohata

Much has been written about the Vietnam War, both fiction and nonfiction. Never before, though, has this period in American history been told from a dog's point of view. The reader follows a German Shepard dog from his first home in a Chicago apartment to his later success as one of the best canine operatives in the military in Vietnam.
