Nubs: The true story of a mutt, a marine & a miracle by Dennis, Larson & Nethery

This book is touching.  If you love dogs, read this book.  In Iraq, where soldiers patrol, there are packs of wild dogs.  Nubs got his name because his ears had been cut.  When he makes friends with Major Brian Dennis, his life changes.  Nubs travels over 70 miles to be with him.  It's an amazing story.
