Good Dogs from the Land of Bad Things

Do you believe in miracles? You will after you read this book. There is no reason for me to be writing this or being able to tell this story. There is no reason for a dog named Marvin to be alive. From his beginning in a war-torn Afghanistan through the journeys and experiences we shared, every step of the way was a challenge, and mountains were moved with the help of the Lord above and some incredible friends who helped along the way. From the orders to destroy dogs on bases to the inability to take an animal across the border that bleeds heroin, opium, jihadists, and weapons, Marvin has no logical reason to be here. Just like life, there are joy and tragedy, hope and faith, frustrations, losses, and triumphs in these pages. It is a story of military and world history, faith and belief, religious and cultural contradictions and challenges and, above all, the unbelievable healing power of unconditional love. Sit back, relax, and let’s take an incredible, true journey.
