Praise for Mike Ritland:

“He’s a good dude and doing great things for our 4-legged heroes!” —Larry the Cable Guy

“Perhaps most moving is how this level of trust plays a vital role in the inspiring and hair-raising stories that he shares about different SEAL handler-and-dog teams during deadly missions . . . [Navy SEAL Dogs is a] high-interest offering.” —Booklist

“Special force SEALs are elite enough, but SEAL dogs [in Navy SEAL Dogs] are a breed apart. Fascinating . . . About time these heroes got the attention they deserved for a young audience.” —Kirkus Reviews

“Navy SEAL Dogs gives a unique insider account of the training and deployment of these special animals and their handlers. Ritland does a superb job of detailing these dogs in combat, as well as the bond between operator and K9.” —Howard E. Wasdin, former Navy SEAL and New York Times–bestselling author of I Am a SEAL Team Six Warrior

“After a stellar career in the Teams, Mike Ritland has gone on to train working K9s for some of the most elite units in the U.S. Special Operations community. If you want to learn about these amazing animals, the sacrifices they’ve made, and their effectiveness in combat, then read Navy SEAL Dogs.” —Brandon Webb, former Navy SEAL, New York Times–bestselling author of The Red Circle, and editor in chief of SOFREP.com
