CRACKER IS ONE OF THE UNITED STATES ARMY'S MOST VALUABLE WEAPONS:
a German shepherd trained to sniff out bombs, traps, and the enemy. The fate of entire platoons rests on her keen sense of smell. She's a Big Deal, and she likes it that way. Sometimes Cracker remembers when she was younger, and her previous owner would feed her hot dogs and let her sleep in his bed. That was nice, too.
Rick Hanski is headed to Vietnam. There, he's going to whip the world and prove to his family and his sergeant -- and everyone else who didn't think he was cut out for war -- wrong. But sometimes Rick can't help but wonder that maybe everyone else is right. Maybe he should have just stayed at home and worked in his dad's hardware store.
When Cracker is paired with Rick, she isn't so sure about this new owner. He's going to have to prove himself to her before she's going to prove herself to him. They need to be friends before they can be a team, and they have to be a team if they want to get home alive.
Told in part through the uncanny point of view of a German shepherd, Cracker! is an action-packed glimpse into the Vietnam War as seen through the eyes of a dog and her handler. It's an utterly unique powerhouse of a book by the Newbery Medal-winning author of Kira-Kira.

reviewed Cracker!: The Best Dog in Vietnam on January 30, 2021 Cracker!: The Best Dog in Vietnam
This took me way too long to read! (And it was on my shelf for forever XP) Long story short, I unfortunately don't know tons about the Vietnam war so besides just being a book to read, I did learn a little about why America was part of it and what was sort of going on.
And Cracker. CRACKER!
When I started this out, Cracker was just a regular family dog "chasing" dead birds in an alley with her boy and I was like...uh oh, this sounds like it might be a bit cheesy if it's just about a family pet. (Someone forgot to read the whole description before I started it, I guess) The story picked up quickly and before I knew it, Cracker was getting ready to find her partner for in the war.
Rick and Cracker are honestly so adorable together. Rick is adorable on his own but the two of them I just can't 😠Their teamwork is epic, and so is their friendships and complete dedication towards each other. The other guys and their dogs are pretty cool, too.
I loved everything about this book even with all the sad stuff going on.
Shout out to U-Haul XD (probably spelling his name wrong since I listened to it)
