Maj. Brian Dennis and his dog, Nubs, will be in town Nov. 10 at City Hall in Mission Viejo to share their story, “Nubs: The True Story of a Mutt, a Marine & a Miracle.”

From the book jacket:

Nubs, an Iraqi dog of war, never had a home or a person of his own. He was the leader of a pack of wild dogs living off the land and barely surviving. But Nubs’s life changed when he met Marine Maj. Brian Dennis. The two formed a fast friendship, made stronger by Dennis’s willingness to share his meals, offer a warm place to sleep, and give Nubs the kind of care and attention he had never received before. Nubs became part of Dennis’s human “pack” until duty required the Marines to relocate a full 70 miles away — without him. Nubs had no way of knowing that Marines were not allowed to have pets.

So began an incredible journey that would take Nubs through a freezing desert, filled with danger to find his friend and would lead Dennis on a mission that would touch the hearts of people all over the world.

Maj. Dennis and Nubs live in San Diego.

The event, which begins at 7 p.m., is free. Visitors also can purchase books and have them autographed.

Reservations are required so, call the Mission Viejo Library at 949-830-7100 x5105 or e-mail stanton@cityofmissionviejo.org.
