They [directors John Dorsey and Andrew Stephan] know how much to say, and show, to viscerally deliver the sights, sounds and even smells, without scaring us away. Read full review

[Glory Hounds] is too grim to be poetry. Though, like all true war stories, it is something of a love story; and like all true love stories, it will break your heart. Read full review

As painful as it is to see a fallen dog's body draped in the American flag, what Glory Dogs also does is deepen our appreciation for the servicemen who train them. Read full review

The program has a fair amount of feel-good filler about the bond between the dogs and their handlers, but when it comes to showing these pairs at work, it is blunt and disturbing. Read full review

What an amazing group of soldiers and canines. God bless them all. Their sacrifices are countless and I thank every one of them.

This show shows the harsh reality of battle Americans go through to keep us free. This also shows the bond a soldier has with his dog. They depend on each other. If this show is to brutal then don't watch it. If you cant stand it for 120 minutes, think about what they got through for yearsThis show shows the harsh reality of battle Americans go through to keep us free. This also shows the bond a soldier has with his dog. They depend on each other. If this show is to brutal then don't watch it. If you cant stand it for 120 minutes, think about what they got through for years at a time. They suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder ,PTSD, and disease. They might not come home, but they stay strong during their whole deployment. God bless you guys.… Expand

I also had the and will forever have the greatest respect for America and the American soldiers. We had the so-called "bush -war" and I was involved in that I know what a mine or IED can do and looking at the show I smelt and felt the fears and challenges we encountered. As a dog lover I just could relate to the soldiers expressing their love and respect to the dogs. I loved the qoutes that came up from time to time and it is so true, but what I liked the most was: The only one smartest dog belongs to every boy"
I went through recalling my pets from my firts Fox Terrier (I was 5 years old) up to my Old English Sheepdog and now my Irish Terrier.( I am now in my 60 years old). Thank you for a brillaint show and may God bless, not only, every soldier and dog who is involved in the wars, but also the people who produced this series.… Expand
