“Haunted Heart is a thoroughly respectful overview of King's life, and a great starter biography for new fans.”

— The Times (London)
“Dogs jumping from airplanes, dogs sacrificing their lives to save their handlers, dogs patrolling dense tropical jungles?such heroics may seem the stuff of animation fantasy, but Lisa Rogak’s The Dogs of War documents the real-life valor of canine warriors.

— The Washington Post
“Rogak's The Dogs of War sheds light on why the dog, more than any other animal, holds a special place in our history, and our hearts.
