From Baghdad, With Love: A Marine, the War, and a Dog Named Lava by Jay Kopelman
4.0
From Baghdad, With Love just made me fall even more in love with dogs.
I mean, first off, this cover is freaking adorable. I love all kinds of dogs and this little puppy is giving me all kinds of puppy fever. Second, this book took me on a very emotional roller coaster ride. The ending just gave me so many happy tears because it was just a very beautiful book.
In it you will meet Jay who ends up with a little buddy. This sweet young pup crosses paths with him and unlike what his fellow mates have done - he doesn't kill the puppy. Instead, he actually ends up keeping Lava and forming the sweetest bond ever!
Now these two go through so much. The journey back to one another was beyond adorable and I might've cried a bit here and there. There was just something about these two that made me smile and laugh. Oh lord, I died when he said something along the lines of, 'that was the face of a dog that was going to tackle the shit out of me'. It made me think of one of my dogs, Bailey, who goes complete ape shit when she sees you. Or you play hide and go seek. I believe she was a linebacker in her previous life because the girl leaves some bruises.
Honestly, I didn't expect to be a hot mess while listening to this book. It just made me look at my two dogs and snuggle the crap out of them. Dogs really are the most precious things and need to be protected at all costs.
