From Baghdad With Love Video

Back



When Marines enter an abandoned house in Fallujah, Iraq, and hear a suspicious noise, they clench their weapons, edge around the corner, and prepare to open fire. What they find during the U.S. led attack on the "most dangerous city on Earth," however, is not an insurgent bent on revenge, but a tiny puppy left behind when most of the city's population fled before the bombing. Despite military law that forbids the keeping of pets, the Marines de-flea the pup with kerosene, de-worm him with chewing tobacco, and fill him up on Meals Ready to Eat. Thus begins the dramatic rescue attempt of a dog named Lava and Lava's rescue of at least one Marine, Lieutenant Colonel Jay Kopelman, from the emotional ravages of war. From hardened Marines to war-time journalists to endangered Iraqi citizens, From Baghdad, With Love tells an unforgettable true story of an unlikely band of heroes who learn unexpected lessons about life, death, and war from a mangy little flea-ridden refugee. The book From Baghdad With Love is now available at bookstores every where.

I've just read your book & was sorry when I finished it as it was a lovely story. Bless you Jay for rescuing Lava!! I love this video .... I have a big smile on my face after watching it .... Lava is now "free" & being cared for by a loving person. Please, please keep us updated on him.

well your country is a shithole. Your people are lazy and corrupt. The animals are the only thing there worth a damn. Its not their fault they live in a shitty place.

LTC Kopelman, Just finished the latest book last night 8 Jul 08. Was very heart warming like the first book. It was a great privelege to meet you once again at Fort Bragg. Is there anything going on with the Lava Fund you mentioned?

One of those books I couldn't bear to put down, but on the other hand didn't want to end. A wonderful story. Just looked on you tube on the off chance, and it made my day ! Thank you. Every happiness to you and your family, especially Lava.

I just read the book in 3 hours could not put it down. After reading the book I had to look online as i knew i would find live video of Lava. He is beautiful. Thank you for writing the book and mostly for saving Lavas life. I know as a dog lover, i have 4 dogs a 170# Rott, 15 yr old Shitzi 10yr old Toy poodle and a 4 mth old toy poodle. I know when I am driving and see a dog on the road I have to stop and rescue them, they do not know and do not have a voice so we need to be their voice!!!

Bought the book 26/07/08, finshed 27/07/08. Absolutely incredible, you lovely soft Marines, well done lads, great job well done. Everyone involved (Sam particularly !) deserve TRUE recognition. Hope Lava lives a long and prosperous life. Enjoy it together.. PNG. W'Boro, UK
