Critics Review
No Better Friend personifies the relationship we all aspire to have with our dogs, and takes us on a harrowing journey to a place and time lost in the history books. A must read - Robin Hutton, author of Sgt. Reckless: America’s War Horse

Soaring and graceful, Weintraub’s narrative reclaims the history of two unlikely heroes - in a tale that is the stuff of which Hollywood blockbusters are built - Mim Eichler Rivas, author Beautiful Jim Key: The Lost History of a Horse and a Man Who Changed the World and co-author of The Pursuit of Happyness with Chris GardnerA thought-provoking story about human suffering in conflict - SoldierRobert Weintraub
