Not quite as good as "Reading Lolita in Tehran" in Tehran....

I have been reading "From Baghdad, With Love", which Jackie was VERY KIND to find a copy and then mail to me. I admit, I have a soft spot for animals, dogs in particular.
Then I find myself traveling throughout the region, and carting it along in my leg cargo pocket. I don't drag it out for a few days, then it hits me: I need to take a picture of me reading the book when I actually visit Baghdad later that day. All goes well, I get the picture right under the sign welcoming visitors (thank you to the anonymous Air Force person for indulging me). So I am happily in possession of my picture and book, and then on the flight home....I leave the disposable camera on the edge of my lap, we take a bunch of turns....it decides to end it's own life under the cargo pallet right behind us.

I sighed heavily.

Jackie, can you add this book to the list of our books on the right? Blogger isn't the most user friendly in that regard....

Anyway, here is the video of the dog from the book:
