When the war ends, how do you leave your best friend behind?
After losing his young family in a tragic accident, Fletcher
Carson joins the flagging war effort in Vietnam. Deeply
depressed, he plans to die in the war. But during one of his
early missions, Fletcher rescues a critically wounded yellow
Lab whom he nurses back to health and names Jack. As
Fletcher and Jack patrol and survive the forests of Vietnam,
Fletcher slowly regains the will to live. At the end of the
war, the U.S. Government announces that due to the cost of
withdrawal, all U.S. dogs serving in the war have been
declared “surplus military equipment” and will not be
transported home. For the hundreds of dog handlers
throughout Vietnam, whose dogs had saved countless lives,
the news is greeted with shock and disbelief. For Fletcher,
he knows that if he abandons Jack, then he too will be lost.
Ordered to leave Jack behind, he refuses—and so begins their
journey. Based on the actual existence and abandonment of
canine units in Vietnam, Gareth Crocker's Finding Jack is a
novel of friendship and love under desperate circumstances
that will grab your heart and won't let go.
