DVD Reviews of War Dogs of the Pacific
DVD Review: Incredible Documentary
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is a wonderful combination of history and dogs, and the people whose lives were touched by the War Dogs of the Marines. I've watched it twice and cried both times. The illustration of the human-canine bond is poignant and heart warming.DVD Review: Great documentary about a forgotten topic!
Summary: 5 Stars
I just had the chance to watch Harris Done's heart-warming documentary about the dogs that aided U.S. Marines in the Pacific during WWII. This is a story that you never learned in school and as far as I know has never been optioned by Hollywood, but it is true: during WWII, families from all over the U.S. donated their dogs to the Marine Corps and the men they were assigned to became their new masters as they helped sniff out danger in the jungle. Done has compiled some great photographs and wonderful interviews with many of the Marines who are still alive and who still tear up speaking about their old furry friends, whom, in many case, saved their lives more than 60 years ago. I'm so glad somebody finally told these stories, as we lose WWII veterans daily and it is so important to have these often-overlooked aspects of the war documented. This is one of those rare, beautiful stories that tugs at your heart strings and educates at the same time and so I recommend it to teachers, students, war buffs, veterans and especially dog lovers! You'll never look at a doberman the same way, again! DVD Review: EXCELLENT DOCUMENTRY
Summary: 5 Stars
Saw this DVD at our Doberman Nationals and was unable to get the DVD there. It was done very well with actually war footage and the men who handled the dogs spoke so well about their life with the dogs. A wonderful history to add to what we know about the Doberman. Thank you for doing it.DVD Review: Personal experiences of war with their canine friends touches the heart...
Summary: 5 Stars
This video was very well made, including lots of personal stories....made me feel like I am sitting in the house of some of these old war heros listening to them tell their intimate war stories. Very good video.
Of course, one reason I bought this is that I am a Doberman lover and owner and there was lots of footage of the dogs as well.
DVD Review: Moving, informative, and well-editted movie
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie shows the immense value of dogs in war efforts, as well as the unique bond between dogs and humans. It is so moving that everyone in the room is in tears at various times, but the overall effect is inspiring. Don't miss it!!!!
