Product Description
An inspired, timely follow-up to the New York Times bestseller From Baghdad, With Love.
Lieutenant Colonel Jay Kopelman won the hearts of readers with his moving story of adopting an abandoned puppy named Lava in a hellish corner of Iraq. For this Marine and his comrades, the puppy served as an important emotional touchstone in a grim and seemingly endless war.
Kopelman now writes about what it's like to be home. He credits his canine best friend with finding his wife—in the park, Lava began playing with her dog and the two owners met—and for keeping him sane as he readjusted. With the same intelligence and insight he showed in From Baghdad, With Love, Kopelman sets forth more than a dozen lessons, including: Life can change in an instant, but you'll be able to handle it; passion for something can help you tap into your most powerful reserve of energy; have a standard operating procedure for everything; never forget who you are or how you got here. Active and retired troops, soldiers' friends and families, and everyone who has ever loved a dog will embrace this book. 10 b/w photographs.

David Corporaal sent this book to a group of friends who had nothing but great things to say about this book. Hope there are more books of this quality in the near future. Highly recommend.
What a Good Sequel! August 31, 2009
Dorothy L. Haislett (Wilmington, DE USA)
I was delighted to see a sequel to the first book! Jay does a thorough job of explaining servicemen's needs following their war experience. His compilation of resources is excellent - and the tone of the book will undoubtedly help many returning Vets.

From Baghdad to America: Life Lessons from a Dog Named Lava
It doesn't matter if your are an animal lover or not, this book is outstanding. [...].
It takes courage to face both deployment and the return home January 27, 2009
J. E. Christian (Littleton, CO USA)
This was a valuable insight into the difficulty veterans face when returning to civilian life. I appreciate the courage and honesty that Jay Kopelman displayed to reveal the challenges he faced, and his steps to find healing. Also touching were letters from other military personnel detailing the healing effects of animals they encountered while serving abroad. Due to this book, I have gained even more respect for those who risk their lives to protect America.
