The bond between Rex and his handler was so special. The book was well written and had an easy flow. I didn't want it to end. Review: A man and his dog against the evils of this world - I finished "Sergeant Rex" by Mike Dowling tonight and found it to be one of the most intriguing and heartwarming books I have ever read so far. One that was emotionally gripping and made me grateful to our armed forces who have protected and served our country. The story of the author and his military working dog, Rex as they deploy to the Iraq War back in 2004 to operate as the first K9 team to go to war since the Vietnam War. Together, as their bond strengthens, they go on missions to sniff out and obliterate weapons of mass destruction the Iraqi insurgents have stashed away, all the while protecting not only American lives in Iraq, but also Iraqi civilian lives. There are plenty of suspenseful moments throughout the book, but also of sheet joy and victory that will have you glued to the pages. I finished this book in record time. In under a month. Usually it takes me a while to finish a book, depending on how long it is or how dedicated I am to the material within. But this book had me spellbound from start to end. You know a book is good when you bother to read the acknowledgements at the end. The mood of the book is a somber and heroic read. There is no over-mushiness and the author throws in enough of his own backstory to fill you in on how he and Rex met, but doesn't go overboard with his narrative. He makes this all about him and his MWD (military working dog) and the casualties and atrocities of war, as well as the good that he and his dog were doing in Iraq, and that regardless of what's going on around them, there is a silver lining there somewhere. Please add this book to your literary collection, especially if you're an animal lover or have served our armed forces. You will love the story of the bond that can only be had between a man and his dog. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 1451635974 | | Best Sellers Rank | #376,464 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #56 in Iraq War Biographies #724 in WWII Biographies #4,557 in Memoirs (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (1,079) | | Dimensions | 5.5 x 1 x 8.38 inches | | Edition | Reprint | | ISBN-10 | 9781451635973 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1451635973 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 304 pages | | Publication date | October 9, 2012 | | Publisher | Atria Books | ## Images ![Sergeant Rex: The Unbreakable Bond Between a Marine and His Military Working Dog - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81a14A9SAAL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Special Dog Great Book *by H***R on February 21, 2026* Loved this book about Sargent Rex aka Sexy Rexy.

Because I dunno just brought back memories. Was a good read though goes back and forth from history to present my hard time was keeping it straight in my mind that rex was a dog not my best friend who was also in Iraq who died in the war. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co/products/9067659-sergeant-rex-the-unbreakable-bond-between-a-marine-and-his](https://www.desertcart.co/products/9067659-sergeant-rex-the-unbreakable-bond-between-a-marine-and-his) --- *Product available on Desertcart Colombia* *Store origin: CO* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
