One night in February 2010, more than 50 American soldiers were asleep inside a military base in Afghanistan. Unknown to the soldiers, a suicide bomber was quietly approaching the building. Luckily, the enemy did not go unnoticed. Three dogs on the base spotted the bomber. First Sasha began to bark loudly. Then Target and Rufus jumped on the enemy and bit him, making it impossible for the bomber to set off his explosives inside the building. The brave canines had stopped an attack that could have killed many soldiers. Look inside to learn more about Sasha, Target, and Rufus, as well as other dogs that help keep American soldiers safe. From sniffing out bombs to guarding troops, these heroic animals help out in ways that no humans ever could. Book jacket. 930L Lexile. Accelerated Reader AR MG 5.5 0.5 149943. 20120522.
