When Destiny pairs him up with an Alaskan husky named Java and teaches him how to bond with the sweet pup, he realizes that he and Destiny have more in common than he thought. With their friendship growing into something deeper, can a dedicated K-9 help them both face their trauma…and come out stronger together?

MY THOUGHTS.....
The Soldier's K-9 Companion has all of the feels, and it burrowed its way into my heart with scenes that were both heartwarming and heartbreaking. I knew from the beginning that Luke Adams suffered from severe trauma caused by a tragic incident during his time as a Navy SEAL, and that PTSD was his ongoing issue. What I didn't understand was the history of the young woman who supplied Luke with a special service dog. Was Destiny Johnson so supportive and so empathetic because she'd also endured trauma? What was the secret that she couldn't share?
Author Belle Calhoune has never been better! I loved the character development of both Luke and Destiny, along with several secondary characters who enrich their journey. And then there's Java, the special Alaskan husky service dog who becomes Luke's champion. I could use a companion like that!
This emotional story has several tough issues. but they're buffered with hope, faith, and sweet romance. I highly recommend this captivating 'friends-to-more' story that's set in Calhoun's beloved Serenity Peak!
