Bookroo's summary

Gus Dempsey, a new Marine Corps recruit, is confident in his dog-handling skills. But his partner, Loki, is more playful pet than disciplined bomb-sniffer. As they deploy to Afghanistan, Gus and Loki must forge an unbreakable bond to navigate the perils of war. Can they transform their unlikely partnership into a life-saving alliance, or will their differences put them in danger? In a world where trust is crucial, their survival depends on learning to work together.

From the publisher

Man’s best friend goes to war.When Gus Dempsey joins the US Marine Corps, he knows without a doubt that he will make a great dog handler. He’s always been good with dogs. In fact, he’s often better with dogs than he is with people. But Loki is not the dog that Gus was expecting. Fun-loving and playful, Loki acts more like a pet than the well-trained, bomb-sniffing Marine that he’s supposed to be. When Gus and Loki deploy to Afghanistan, though, they have no choice but to learn to work together. Because in war, getting along is a matter of life and death. DOG TAGS is a series of stand-alone books, each exploring the bond between soldier and dog in times of war.
