In this true story, Marine Gunner Sergeant Chris Willingham and his canine partner “Mama" Lucca takes us through the horror of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Lucca, an IED sniffing German Shepherd,/Belgian Malinois cross, had safely led soldiers in four hundred missions. Will she choose to give her life for her handler? You will be hooked and crying within the first five minutes. The book was released on October 23, 2014, and published by Dutton.
