Synopsis
Based on the true experiences of military dogs, here is a story of loyalty, strength, and the bond between a man and his dog
At the kennels, Caesar doesn't look special. But Corporal Ben Fulton sees something different—an intelligent dog whose curiosity will make him an excellent sniffer dog in the Australian Army. On operations in Afghanistan with Ben, Caesar proves his worth, finding hidden explosives and saving the lives of the soldiers. Then, during a Taliban ambush, Caesar is separated from his master. In the aftermath, Ben and his best friend Charlie are seriously wounded and evacuated to the hospital before being shipped back to Australia. But where is Caesar? From their home in Australia, Ben and his family search for clues that might reveal whether their beloved dog is still alive and surviving Afghanistan's bitter winter cold and capture by the Taliban. It will be a long road home, and Caesar will face many hardships along the way, but for this brave and loyal dog, anything is possible. This book is based on the true story of Australian military dog Sarbi and its experiences in Afghanistan, combined with the factual experiences of Endal, the devoted British dog who cared for his wheelchair-bound ex-serviceman master and became the most decorated dog in history.

From School Library Journal
Gr 5–8—In this installment, Caesar's care partner, Charlie, is once again on active duty, so Caesar returns to being a super-sniffing explosive-finding dog in the Australian Army. On their first mission back together, Caesar and his handler, Ben, discover a bomb at the Sydney Opera House that is targeting the visiting secretary-general of the United Nations. Caesar saves the day but then the official's helicopter goes down and he is captured by the Taliban. Caesar, Ben, and Charlie join an international team to rescue him. This action-packed adventure will satisfy animal lovers and military enthusiasts alike. Caesar is easy to love and admire, and he really shines at showing the greatness behind military service dogs.—Katie Wilkinson, Gar-Field High School, Woodbridge, VA
