Shvabsky V.L. Dog in military service. - M.: ABC "Berkut", 2017. - 592 pp.

The book of the famous military dog breeder V.L. Shvabsky “Dog in Military Service” reveals little-studied pages of Russian history: the role and significance of use in the Red Army four-legged human assistants as an incredibly effective and sometimes irreplaceable means of fighting the enemy. The main part of the study, based on the author’s study of a large array of various archival materials, is devoted to the Great Patriotic War, during which the use of dogs by Soviet troops to destroy enemy manpower and equipment became a mass phenomenon. The publication is intended for everyone interested in the history of military and service dog breeding.
