Summary

When Dave Heyhoe was sent to Afghanistan to help detect the Taliban's murderous roadside bombs, he knew he'd need a special dog by his side. Luckily for him, his closest pal, Treo, a staggeringly brave ball of energy and mischief was with him every step of the way. The two friends had a miraculous understanding that helped them save countless lives but, as they embarked on a roller-coaster emotional ride, Dave realized he needed Treo more than he could ever have imagined.

Tear-jerkingly sad one moment, laugh-out-loud hilarious the next, It's All About Treo is a moving and uplifting story that will melt the hearts of animal lovers everywhere.

so good I got to the end and started again

What did you like most about It's All About Treo?

It really opened my eyes not just to the amazing things working dogs can do but also what it's like on the frontline in a way the news can never get across

Which scene did you most enjoy?

The one where Treo won't get out of the river. It reminds you that even the best trained dogs in the world will get tunnel vision occasionally

Any additional comments?

This true story has everything. It's about loyalty trust and friendship in the face of extreme hardship and proves why dogs really are mans best friend. You don't have to be a dog lover to enjoy this book. I defy anyone to listen to this and not be touched by it in some way

Absolutely beautiful story of an amazing connection between a man and his dog during a difficult time when they were together in Afghanistan in the military. God bless them both. Truly beautiful. Thank you both for your service.

A great story of companionship

Outstanding story. Well worth the read for anyone interested in working dogs and their relationship and bond with their handlers.
6 months on the front line working in a hostile environment, constantly on edge for threats.
