A Dog Named Mattis

Christian Living

“Mark and Mattis have a bond unlike any I’ve seen between a man and his dog. Most officers and their K9 partners have undeniable bonds. They have to; oftentimes the job they are doing together could be life or death. But when I first met (and interviewed) Mark, I could see the love and adoration he had for Mattis; in fact, he cried just talking about his dog. This book takes you on their journey together, realizing and exceeding the true meaning behind ‘man’s best friend.’ There’s no doubt that after reading about this incredible German shepherd, as a heralded K9 officer and as a dog at home, you’ll fall in love just as I did. They are a dynamic duo and the people of Alpharetta, Georgia, are lucky to have been protected by them. May we all aspire to love and respect our dogs like Mark does.”
