Bookroo's summary

In the heart of World War II, medic Miguel finds himself isolated in a Belgian forest after a surprise Nazi attack. Stranded behind enemy lines, his only hope lies in an abandoned dog, trained by the enemy to see him as a threat. As Miguel navigates the perils of war, he must forge an unexpected bond with this canine adversary. Can he transform an enemy into an ally and escape the forest alive? Discover the gripping tale of survival and friendship in a world torn apart by conflict.

From the publisher

Man’s best friend goes to war. Two enemy soldiers. One uneasy alliance. Miguel is a medic in the US Army. Stationed in a remote Belgian forest during World War II, he’s expecting a quiet tour of duty. But the Nazis have other ideas. They launch a surprise attack . . . one that separates Miguel from his entire division. Alone and lost in enemy territory, Miguel discovers an abandoned dog, left behind by German forces. The dog could be just the ally Miguel needs to get out of the forest alive. There’s a catch, though. The dog has been trained by the Nazis to see Miguel as the enemy. Can a young soldier teach an old dog new tricks? DOG TAGS is a series of stand-alone books, each exploring the bond between soldier and dog in times of war.
