Buck's Heroes -A Dog's
Tale of Vietnam War Dogs
On a splendid fall day some thirty years after serving in Vietnam as
a dog handler, Johnny Mayo attends a reunion of former handlers and their
families at the Vietnam Memorial in Washington D.C. He brings with him,
Buck, his pet husky of 10 years.
Buck accompanies his master to the polished black granite memorial wherein
are inscribed the names of the 58,178 men and women who were killed or
missing in action.
While gazing at the wall by his master's side, Buck begins hearing and
seeing the ghosts of the dogs who were participants in the war. His master's
two beloved scout dogs along with many others tell Buck what life was like
for them and the soldiers they served and protected. Buck and his master
leave the memorial with a renewed sense of camaraderie and closure.
Buck's Heroes -A Dog's Tale of Vietnam War Dogs. Visit their website
