Description
WEREWOLF: The True Story of an Extraordinary Police Dog is the raw, first-hand account of the life of a police K9 named Brag and his cop partner. When they first meet, Brag shows no interest in human attachment and his handler is wary of caring too much for a dog whose life he must risk every night. But as the dangerous manhunts push both to their mental and physical limits, the two develop an unbreakable bond that blurs the line between human and canine.
Anyone who has ever loved a dog will embrace this heartfelt story of courage and loyalty!

Advance Praise
"Full disclosure: I am a cop who worked with Brag and his human partner. That being said, I loved this book, period. I remember many of the cases and know all the locations. I enjoyed hearing about them from the perspective of the K-9 handler. What I loved most is Officer Hedges’ writing and the beautiful way he describes the relationship and the love for each other that he and Brag shared. He also absolutely nails it when describing the life of a police officer and the culture within the department. Well done my friend and thank you!"

"WEREWOLF: The True Story of an Extraordinary Police Dog" by David Alton Hedges is a captivating and deeply moving account of the unbreakable bond between a police K9 named Brag and his handler. From their initial meeting, where Brag is indifferent and his handler is cautious, to their shared experiences on dangerous manhunts, this book chronicles their journey of mutual trust and loyalty.
Hedges offers a raw, firsthand look at the challenges and triumphs faced by this remarkable duo, pushing their mental and physical limits in the line of duty. The transformation of their relationship, from wary acquaintances to inseparable partners, is a testament to the extraordinary connection that can form between humans and dogs.
This heartfelt story of courage and loyalty is a must-read for anyone who has ever loved a dog.

Werewolf: The True Story of an Extraordinary Police Dog
By David Alton Hedges, narrated by Michael Puttonen
It is rare that I will pick up a book that features animals because I can't handle things not going well for them. But I wanted to hear this book about an incredible police dog and his work with his partner. Michael Puttonen narrated the story and his narration fit the story so well. And we cried at the end. But know that Brag had a full life, the dog lived for his work, and I'm very glad to have listened to this book and learned about Brag and his partner, David Hedges.
I enjoyed reading about their training, their work, their bond. David started his partnership thinking that Brag didn't like him but as he learned things Brag already knew, David learned to understand Brag and better interpret him. What a team and even though my animal family members have never had this kind of job, this book had me so thankful for the animals in my life.
Thank you to Post Hypnotic Press Audiobooks and NetGalley for this ARC.
