Cracker is one of the United States Armys most valuable weapons: a German shepherd trained to sniff out bombs, traps, and the enemy. The fate of entire platoons rests on her keen sense of smell. Shes a Big Deal, and she likes it that way. Sometimes Cracker remembers when she was younger, and her previous owner would feed her hot dogs and let her sleep in his bed. That was nice, too.Rick Hanski is headed to Vietnam. There, hes going to whip the world and prove to his family and his sergeantand everyone else who didnt think he was cut out for warwrong. But sometimes Rick cant help but wonder that maybe everyone else is right. Maybe he should have just stayed at home and worked in his dads hardware store.
When Cracker is paired with Rick, she isnt so sure about this new owner. Hes going to have to prove himself to her before shes going to prove herself to him. They need to be friends before they can be a team, and they have to be a team if they want to get home alive.
Customer Review: Cracker
BEWARE: This book is an amazing story, but, be warned it is full of curse words and talks of smoking in positive light etc... I am glad I have a child that came to me upon reading the first bad word. I then blacked out the word and all the ones in the rest of the book. That done ...it is a great book. It is too bad the author felt that she should put this in what otherwise would have been a good story. I don't think it is too much to expect a children's book to be free this.
Customer Review: This book is great.
"CRACKER" is one of the greatest books I have ever read in my life. It was very suspensful and mind racing. I give this book a two thumbs up. This should be on your list of books to deffinently read
There are many dogs out there that are aggressive, and if you have one you know what a problem that it can be. There are many great programs that you can buy that will teach you techniques on how to stop your dog's aggression. But what some of the lower quality programs don't teach is what kind of aggression you dog has. Knowing this can be extremely important when trying to change this behavior. Here are some of the types.
Aggression because of fear is a common one. A scared, nervous and insecure dog usually will snap, bite, and aggressively bark. This can be because of things like loud unexpected sounds.
A lot of dogs are aggressive just because they have a dominate personality. This is one of the worst types of aggression. This is because you dog may try and scare people on purpose, and may only like 1 or 2 people it knows. This selective mentality is not a dog that you want to own.
Some dogs are very possessive and they take this emotion out in the form of aggression. When a dog gets close to something sometimes it will guard it to his or her death. Stopping this type of aggression usually requires you trying to give you dog something else to grow attached to.
Finally a lot of dogs are aggressive if their territory is invaded. They will growl, and bite when someone or something approaches. Usually the only approach to this kind of aggression is to tire your dog out and then show them new things.
Most aggressive dog behavior can be controlled. All that you need to do is to find the right program out there that will teach you how to change your dogs' mindset and you will begin to see results.
