Where has this memoir been hiding?? This was fantastic!! All the stars!!
Craig & Fred is a memoir told by Craig (human) about how he met Fred (dog). The chapters alternate between when Craig and Fred met in Afghanistan, and when Craig, Fred, and fellow Vet/friend Josh went on a cross country road trip. I really liked that format for several reasons. One, because there are two stories to be told here, and second, because it provided space and pacing from the hard times overseas with a chapter about their journey in the USA. I found this memoir to be uplifting (although at times also sad), informative about what Marines go through, and a heartwarming story about a connection with a very special dog.
I read almost 70% of this book in one sitting and stayed up til 1am. If you are a memoir person, or maybe you just like dogs, or you like stories about pets and people saving each other, or maybe you enjoy first hand accounts from Marines who have served, READ THIS !!! It will not disappoint!
