War World II Movie January 10, 2010
Donna Lee Lahr (Pennsylvania USA)
This is an excellent historically accurate story of the bond between
the soldiers and their dogs, as well as, the heartbreak and heart warming
events that occurred. If you are interested in WWII and dogs, you would
enjoy this movie.
War Dogs of the Pacific December 23, 2009

What a great movie the love and respect shown to these dogs 40 yrs later is so touching. If you are a dog lover or trainer I highly recommend watching this video.
One For The Ages December 19, 2009

Its always wonderful when a storyteller tells a tale of bravery and heroism we have never heard before. Such is the case with this film. War Dogs of the Pacific is one of those films that will be passed on for ages as an example of what can only be called the American Spirit. Not only does this film tell us a story we have never heard, but it does so in such a way that fills us with pride. For those of you who question the role America has played in history watch this film. You will never doubt again.
 Two dogs of war December 10, 2009
Delos P. Wiberg
i purchased this video after having seen and buying "War Dogs of Vietnam". of the two videos the Vietnam video i thought was far superior. It was much more emotional and well done. I give "War Dog of Vietnam" five stars and give "War Dogs of the Pacific" two.
 More war heroes that are often forgotten December 9, 2009
TaeKwonDodo (OR)
This documentary summarizes the story of the MArine war dog platoon in WWII and their actions in the Pacific Theater, from the first days of early training to the actual experience in conflict. We see surviving veterans, including Dr William Putney, DVM- the first vet/head of the platoon- discuss their memories of the war and the dogs that served alongside them.I watched this documentary on the Military Channel, and then promptly ordered my copy of the DVD. As a dog lover myself, I can attest to the incredible love and loyalty that grows between a dog and his human companion. I can imagine how deep and strong that bond can be between a young soldier, far from home and probably frightened and lonely, and the dog that he has been assigned to care for during a war when so many other human emotions fall to the wayside. The dogs clearly saved many lives, and were invaluable to the soldiers in so many other ways. They were heroes too, and I can only applaud Dr. Putney's determined effort to see these dogs recognized for their service. Unfortunately the war dogs of Vietnam had no such advocate on their side, and countless numbers of them were left behind when Saigon fell.
I would also recommend that you read Dr. Putney's book - "Always Faithful:A Memoir of the Marine Dogs of WWII". The book fleshes out some details, and many of the dogs and handlers mentioned in the book an be seen on the DVD
