Why did the Author write Navy Seal Dogs?

The author, Mike Ritland, wrote Navy Seal Dogs to show his personal experiences. I know that this is very broad, but his book is a primary source and can be used for any sort of purpose. We have books and stories written on the American Civil War, World War I, and World War II, and now we are going to have stories written in the past decade about troops in the Middle East. Another reason for him writing Navy Seal Dogs is to show the purpose and faults for us moving into Iraq and Afghanistan how much different it is continuously cooperating with K9s. Since this takes place early 2000's we were really going confident going into the Middle East. We were just hoping that establishing order there would ensure safety in the United States, but in my opinion, it kind of worked, but then again not really. So it's told through Mike Ritland's perspective to see and make you think about if what we're doing is right.

Another reason he might have wrote this is to show how much different it is continuously cooperating with K9s. Many of us have dogs today, and well dogs are a man's best friend right? Well that's exactly what Mike would think. Today, he trains German Shepherds and other suitable dogs to be able to use, so he probably still thinks this today. But do you guys think the same about what we're doing? And do you agree with what dogs really mean to you?
