Photo We Love: The Beautiful Dog Days of Winter
A couple of weeks ago I got an e-mail from a very smart, polite, 10-year-old boy named Wyatt Milton. He had heard about my forthcoming book on military dogs, and was eager to learn more about them for a school report he was putting together. He asked me several interesting questions. I was happy to …
