From Baghdad with Love
I just finished reading "From Baghdad, With Love: A Marine, the War, and a Dog Named Lava" by Jay Kopelman.
I really liked this book. It is non-fiction, the story of a puppy found in Iraq by a Marine and what happened while they tried to get the puppy back to the US. It was a good book and it was nice to see a dog story that is not overly sappy and doesn't have a depressing ending. |

Re: From Baghdad with Love
I read it on the plan on the way to Iraq last month. Nope didn't stop in Baghdad...
It was a pretty good book, I enjoyed it. The guy is pretty lucky they didn't get him for violating General Order 1 tho. (No feeding or adopting stray or wild animals as pets or mascots). Guy in my office just got reprimmanded and sent home for that.
