Crisp and a team of SPCA International staff and volunteers have saved the lives of 280 dogs, 70 cats and 1 donkey which were rescued and befriended by U.S. troops since February 2008. “This book like no other really shows the tight bond American troops serving in the Middle East have with stray dogs and cats that would have died on war-torn streets but became part of the military family. To see them reunited after combat is amazing.” “No Buddy Left Behind captures the incredible effort and diplomatic work it takes to bring these animals safely home to America and each story is not only gripping but emotional as they show the real loving bond between our men and women who serve and these animals who have become a part of their lives so far away,” said Stephanie Scott of SPCA International. “This book like no other really shows the tight bond American troops serving in the Middle East have with stray dogs and cats that would have died on war-torn streets but became part of the military family.
