World War II officially came to an end 75 years ago today. Millions of servicemen came home to the US, and so, too, did thousands of military dogs. Now, there’s a children’s book about war dogs that takes a dog’s point of view about serving in the war. The book is called “Major: A Soldier Dog.” Author Trevor Jones speaks to host Carol Hills. Also joining us is Major’s owner, Sid Moore, who was just a boy when his dog went off to war.
