Until Tuesday: A Wounded Warrior and the Golden Retriever Who Saved Him.
By Fmr. Capt. Luis Carlos Montalvan with Bret Witter.
Hyperion, 2011.
Capt. Montalvan is a highly decorated, U.S. Army veteran who found returning home after his two tours of duty in Iraq to be very challenging. He was plagued by pain from his physical wounds along with crippling post traumatic stress disorder. He became depressed and began to cut himself off from those he loved. It was only when he met Tuesday, a beautiful and sensitive service dog, that things started to turn around.
Tuesday also faced some challenges in his life. Although he performed his service to the disabled excellently, he was not able to connect with a human being until he was paired with Capt. Montalvan. This is a touching story about how the two wounded warriors eventually healed each other.
