Snowbood's Journal

Jason Snowblood and Benny Coyne, cousins of Ottawa-Irish descent from a small, northern Michigan town, are assigned to the US Army's scout dog program in Vietnam. They develop a friendship with a gallant but shady helicopter pilot and unbreakable bonds with their heroic dogs.

Coyne's special native powers erupt with brutal real and spirit world violence when his dog is captured by the enemy and Army investigators are baffled by the circumstances of his horrific revenge. Jason struggles through TET and against the growing, consuming fear that he will soon have to leave his dog behind when his tour in Vietnam concludes.
