A HOME
FOR DYNGO

"Rebecca Frankel understands the truth about loving dogs: we give them everything, but they give us back so much more—especially "difficult" dogs like Dyngo, whose experiences in war left him struggling to fit into a normal home. Deeply felt. Beautifully written. Move over Marley: Dyngo will bound his way into your heart, one disaster at a time."

—Bret Witter, 9-time NYT bestselling co-writer of Until Tuesday: A Wounded Warrior and the Golden Retriever who Saved Him

 

"Ever since Odysseus came home and found that no one recognized him but his dog, we've recognized the important emotional work that animals can play in homecoming. But in Rebecca Frankel's A Home for Dyngo, the returning veteran is a dog, a bomb-sniffing member of a K9 unit with three deployments under his belt, and her story of adopting him and helping him come home from war is powerful and moving."
—Phil Klay, author of Redeployment winner of the 2014 National Book Award for Fiction

"A Home for Dyngo is a wonderful love story, which will capture the imagination of those who feel a bond with dogs and those who do not. It's also a story of high drama. which will have readers wondering how it turns out until the last page."
—James Fallows, author of Breaking the News, Winner of the National Book Award

"I love and appreciate Rebecca's stories about war dogs. She has an authentic and honest relationship to the war dog community that can only come from spending considerable time with handlers while also having a deep, personal understanding of what it means to build a bond with a war dog."
—Mike Dowling, author of Sergeant Rex, and one of the first Marine Corps K9 handlers to serve in the Iraq war
