Join our guest Robin Hutton as we talk about her wonderful books about these award winning animals who served in the military. Sgt Reckless, the four-legged Marine braved minefields to deliver ammunition to her division on the firing sites. In one day alone, performing fifty-one trips up and down treacherous terrain, covering thirty-five miles, and rescuing wounded comrades-in-arms, Reckless demonstrated her devotion to the Marines who had become her herd.
