Paul Morgan enlisted in the US Army at the age of 19 and became a Green Beret with the 82nd Airborne. In 1965, he was sent to Vietnam as an advisor to Vietnamese airborne and ranger units. Although never officially assigned to a K-9 unit, he traded a pistol and a set of rosary beads to a French priest for a German Shepherd named Suzie--a dog that saved his life on more than one occasion. His love of his K-9 companion led to his first book, K-9 Soldiers: Vietnam and After, a true story of his experiences on patrol with his dogs Suzie and Bear in the jungles of Vietnam, as well as other tales of war dogs and their hero handlers. His book and military belongings are displayed in Fort Benning`s Military Museum and he has appeared on Good Morning America, Animal Planet, the Discovery Channel and others. After twenty years of running a successful K-9 security business, Paul retired and currently divides his time between New York and Florida.
