    Anyone who likes to read but hasn't read "Saving Private Sarbi" should do so.

    So sad to hear of Sarbi's death. Bob

    • Saving Private Sarbi: The True Story of Australia's Canine War Hero
      Book by Sandra Lee
    • 3.7/5?Goodreads
    • Powerful, dramatic, heartwarming, this is the true story of Sarbi, the scruffy black Labrador-cross trained by the Australian Army as an explosives detection dog for the most dangerous combat mission ..

    I love reading these kind of animal stories. A book I read recently was called "From Baghdad With Love" and is the story of a puppy called Lava that was rescued in war torn Iraq and against all odds was taken back to the USA. Loved that book, it was a heart warming read.

    Here is a U-Tube clip of Lava in the USA.

    Another good read is the story of "Horrie The War Dog". Set in WW2 Horrie was also found as a puppy and saved many a life as he could hear the German planes coming and gave advanced warning to the Australian soldiers. Horrie was smuggled into Australia and lived a full life in retirement, eventually dying of old age in the early 1950's.
