Doggie.
This is an excellent story of one man Rab and Stumpy his search dog.Drawn from a series of posts to the Army Rumour Service the well loved posts were compiled into a book.You too can enjoy it as we did.Make sure Rab gets your money though because if you buy from here you might be paying someone that will keep it for themselves.

Stumpy and the Auld sapper...BRILLIANT!
I saw this first on the "ARRSE" website. I cried with laughter at the stories told by Rab, The Auld sapper...about him and Stumpy`s time in NI.When i found out about him writing this book i bought it instantly, i was well rewarded, though the language has been toned down...a fair bit..Stumpy and the auld sapper is a good read, its funny,tragic as well when you get a glimpse of life during the troubles...Luckily, Rab is a great storyteller and the hilarity and insanity of military life in a warzone, the madness that comes with men cooped up and expected to go out and face possible death/injury...the beaurocracy of the Military.I recommend this book to anyone who has served, it will bring back happy and possibly some unhappy memories of your time in the services..but mainly its a craic!Short stumpy, grumpy, horny canine..and not the brightest spark of an engineer dog handler...and their journey together through the troubles...What more can i say..BUY IT, READ IT...ITS BRILLIANT.

My husband's best Christmas present by far
I bought this for my darling husband for Christmas. As an ex member of the Army Dog Unit and having served two terms in Northern Ireland himself, I thought it would be something he would very much enjoy. Needless to say I was proved right. The book was opened on Christmas Day and he did not put it down until it was finished. He laughed continuously and kept saying "I could have written this" as he understood so well the content and the very unique humour that was so much a necessary part of life during those troubled times. It now has pride of place in the bookshelf and I am sure it will be brought out many more times for a chuckle. Worth every penny just to see the continuous smile on his face.

A real time waster.
You barsteward! I wasted many an hour reading the original posts on ARRSE. Now I am wasting yet more time reading this on Kindle. At least the chances of you publishing again are minimal and thus I know I won't have to waste more of my life in the future. Except for reading it again to try and understand why such drivel repeatedly wasted my life. (That may be more often than is healthy)

Funnier than a funny thing, with a degree in Fun from the University of Fun.
This book should come with a health warning, the stomach cramps I have from laughing are hurting like mad, and I am suffering from lack of sleep last night staying up to read this. Thoroughly recommended!

Priceless. Anyone who ever served in the Emerald Toilet ...
Priceless. Anyone who ever served in the Emerald Toilet will recognise the situations Stumpy and his straight-man find themselves in.Anyone who doesn't find themselves in stitches was probably RAF.
