"I just wanted to write and let you know we received our first shipment of books. As soon as I opened the box, the other K-9 handlers were diving in, it took less than a minute for the box to empty. The candy at the bottom was a welcome treat as well. On behalf of the Mad Dog Kennels, I want to extend our gratitude. I wish you could have seen the smiles on the soldiers and sailors faces when they saw a box full of books. Christmas definately came early for the dog teams. We hope to receive more books if possible, as I know we will read all of these in short order. Again, thank you for the support you have shown. Receiving packages from home reminds us that there are people out there who have not forgotten about us. Thank you and God bless. "
