    About this audiobook

    Cracker is one of the United States Army's most valuable weapons: a German shepherd trained to sniff out bombs, traps, and the enemy. The fate of entire platoons rests on her keen sense of smell. She's a Big Deal, and she likes it that way. Sometimes Cracker remembers when she was younger, and her previous owner would feed her hot dogs and let her sleep in his bed. That was nice, too.

    Rick Hanski is headed to Vietnam. There, he's going to whip the world and prove to his family and his sergeant-and everyone else who didn't think he was cut out for war-wrong. But sometimes Rick can't help but wonder that maybe everyone else is right. Maybe he should have just stayed at home and worked in his dad's hardware store.

    When Cracker is paired with Rick, she isn't so sure about this new owner. He's going to have to prove himself to her before she's going to prove herself to him. They need to be friends before they can be a team, and they have to be a team if they want to get home alive.

      Sometime in the late 1950s or in very early 1960s, a friend of my family, Mr Maurice Norman, took some photographs of my uncle in his punt-gun on the Dee Marshes. Mr Norman subsequently sent one of the photographs (right) to Shooting Times, which use

      The Lodge was a Victorian shooting box of minimal architectural distinction, belonging perhaps to the psychiatric baronial school. Its heavy, irregular exterior was set off by monkey puzzle trees, a mossy lawn and an embattled garden. The household w
