Veteran Adventure Stories: Eric Cobb Jr.

By Stephanie Hennessy

Veteran Adventure Stories: Eric Cobb Jr. is a powerful, true story of friendship, service, and loyalty-told through the eyes of a young Soldier and the military working dog who walked beside him in war. As a child, Eric learns about love and loss through his family and his first dog. When he is drafted into the Vietnam War, those early lessons follow him into a dangerous new world. There, Eric is paired with Moose, a highly trained military working dog whose keen senses and steady presence help protect their unit. Together, Eric and Moose form an unbreakable bond built on trust, courage, and quiet bravery. Through vivid illustrations and gentle, age-appropriate storytelling, this book introduces young readers to:

The role of military working dogsThe experience of serving during the Vietnam WarThemes of loyalty, sacrifice, grief, and remembrance

Told with care and respect, this story does not glorify war-but honors those who served, including the four-legged heroes who were once considered equipment and left behind when their handlers returned home Designed for children ages 4-9, Veteran Adventure Stories: Eric Cobb Jr. also includes reflection questions and activities to help families and classrooms talk about loyalty, courage, and standing by those we care about-especially when it's hard.

This book is part of the Veteran Adventure Stories series, which shares real stories of American veterans to help children understand history, service, and the people behind the uniform.
