BOOKMARK: Nubs: The True Story of a Mutt, A Marine, and a Miracle


A touching story on TV tonight from The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien told the story of Marine Major Brian Dennis and his stray friend Nubs.


This book tells the story of how nothing could come between a dog and a man and how loyal a canine companion can be.


Straight from the inside cover:


Nubs, an Iraqi dog of war, never had a home or a person of his own. He was the leader of a pack of wild dogs living off the land and barely surviving. But Nubs's life changed when he met Marine Major Brian Dennis. The two formed a fast friendship, made stronger by Dennis's willingness to share his meals, offer a warm place to sleep, and give Nubs the kind of care and attention he had never received before. Nubs became part of Dennis's human "pack" until duty required the Marines to relocate a full 70 miles away--without him. Nubs had no way of knowing that Marines were not allowed to have pets.


So began an incredible journey that would take Nubs through a freezing desert, filled with danger tofind his friend and would lead Dennis on a mission that would touch the hearts of people all over the world.


Nubs and Dennis will remind readers that friendship has the power to cross deserts, continents, and even species.
