Nubs and Brian
Nubs, an Iraqi dog of war, never had a home or a person of his own. He was the leader of a pack of wild dogs living off the land and barely surviving. But his life changed when he met Marine Major Brian Dennis. The two formed a fast friendship, made stronger by Dennis's willingness to share his meals, offer a warm place to sleep, and give Nubs the kind of care and attention he'd never received before. Nubs became part of Dennis's human "pack" until duty required the Marines to relocate a full 70 miles away--without him.
So began Nubs's incredible journey through the freezing desert to find his friend. Two days later, Nubs walked into the camp. But because Marine regulations prohibit the keeping of pets in a war zone, Major Dennis and his men collected donations and arranged to send Nubs to live with friends in the United States, where they eventually reunited in 2008.
Nubs and Dennis will remind readers that friendship has the power to cross deserts, continents, and even species.
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!"

This is a tale of the beauty of miracles in the mist of the ugliness of war. Nubs will show that love between a man and his dog can overcome anything. Children will love this book and remember it as a favorite. It teaches them that animals have personalities, should be valued and respected, and are very special. Highly recommended.
