Representaion To Books Until Tuesday: A Wounded Warrior and the Golden Retriever Who Saved Him

A heartwarming dog story like no other: Tuesday, a lovable golden retriever, changes a former soldier's life forever.

A highly decorated captain in the U.S. Army, Luis Montalván never backed down from a challenge during his two tours of duty in Iraq. After returning home from combat, however, his physical wounds and crippling post-traumatic stress disorder began to take their toll. He wondered if he would ever recover.

Then Luis met Tuesday, a sensitive golden retriever trained to assist the disabled. Tuesday had lived among prisoners and at a home for troubled boys, and he found it difficult to trust in or connect with a human being--until Luis.

Until Tuesday is the story of how two wounded warriors, who had given so much and suffered the consequences, found salvation in each other. It is a story about war and peace, injury and recovery, psychological wounds and spiritual restoration. But more than that, it is a story about the love between a man and dog, and how, together, they healed each other's souls.

Weigh Up Based On Books Until Tuesday: A Wounded Warrior and the Golden Retriever Who Saved Him
This is a very sweet and touching story of a Iraq veteran and his service dog, Tuesday. And don't worry animal lovers, Tuesday is still alive - I believe he's about five years old today - and still with the author, Luis. This book really opened my eyes to the trauma that soldiers experience during war and how abandoned they are by society, political leaders, and even their families. Luis's story is not told to earn pity, but to help people understand that what you see and hear in the papers or

I've added several copies of this to my middle school library as a nonfiction option for students. The students who have read it also think it's great. It's a story not to be missed.

I felt as if this author spoke personally to me. I am a retired Deputy Sheriff, diagnosed with PTSD. I cried and laughed when I read this very special book. I have several rescue dogs and feel the connection that Luis mentions in his book. This book literally saved me from myself. I do not feel alone anymore. Thank you for your honesty, love and bravery.

Having already reviewed Montalvan's children's book, "Tuesday Tucks Me In," his account for adults of how this golden retriever service dog transformed his life following his tours of duty in the U.S. Army will elicit gratitude from and foster patriotism among Americans who enjoy freedom won by our armed forces and their loyal canine helpers. Although Capt. Montalvan (US Army retired) could have given up on life, his furry friend made it possible for him to return to a life of purpose and

What an inspiring, heartwrenching, moving, lovable book! I felt so incredibly sorry for Luis, and in turn for all the soldiers who have and are fighting for their countries...the veterans of Iran, Afghanistan and all other places that have ever been at war.Captain Luis Montalvan retired from 17 years of service in the US army, and he was suffering from physical disabilities, plus PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder). After a horror period, where the simple things we take for granted - taking a

This isn't your typical "dog book" despite first impressions of the cover picture of a handsome golden retriever. It is the story, primarily, of an army vet. And you will cry when you read it. No, the dog doesn't die at the end (thankfully, unlike some other popular dog-on-the-cover books), but you will find yourself tearing up several times during the book.If you want a deeper understanding of what it means to be a soldier (even if you thought you knew) you must read this book. Montalvan

You must read this book. Not because you're a dog lover. Not because you are or were in the military. Not because you love someone who is or was in the military. Those are all good reasons, but they're not the real reason. You must read this book to know about love, to know about pain, and about recovery. And you need to know about hope. This book tells not only the remarkable story of Montalván and his service dog Tuesday, it tells the story of a war that we citizens, through action and
