No Ordinary Dog is the powerful true story of a SEAL Team Operator and military dog handler, and the dog that saved his life.

This program is read by the author.

Two dozen Navy SEALs descended on Osama bin Ladens compound in May 2011. After the mission, only one name was made public: Cairo, a Belgian Malinois and military working dog. This is Cairo's story, and that of his handler, Will Chesney, a SEAL Team Operator whose life would be irrevocably tied to Cairo's.

Starting in 2008, when Will was introduced to the DEVGRU canine program, he and Cairo worked side by side, depending on each other for survival on hundreds of critical operations in the war on terrorism. But their bond transcended their service. Then, in 2011, the call came: Pick up your dog and get back to Virginia. Now.

What followed were several weeks of training for a secret mission. It soon became clear that this was no ordinary operation. Cairo was among the first members of the U.S. military on the ground in Pakistan as part of Operation Neptune Spear, which resulted in the successful elimination of bin Laden.

As Cairo settled into a role as a reliable spare dog, Will went back to his job as a DEVGRU operator, until a grenade blast in 2013 left him with a brain injury and PTSD. Unable to participate in further missions, he suffered from crippling migraines, chronic pain, memory issues, and depression. Modern medicine provided only modest relief. Instead, it was up to Cairo to save Will's life once moreand then up to Will to be there when Cairo needed him the most.

Undying love between man and his DOG!!

26 April 2020 - Published on Amazon.com

Verified Purchase

I’m one of the people fortunate enough to know Will Chesney, and very lucky to have spent a little time with the ‘retired’ Cairo. I’ve said many times that I don’t really think I KNOW Will, which is kinda sad/unfortunate because I met him 6+ years ago. I’m so grateful for this incredible book as I’ve gotten to know a wonderful young man...the real man, the man he doesn’t talk about...himself!! Will doesn’t talk about what he’s been through, the things he’s seen, or the heartache he’s endured. I’ve heard him talk about Cairo on numerous occasions...that’s a part of him he’s always wanted to share!! You can’t keep a lid on that kind of love!! I’m only halfway thru the book, and I’ve cried (sobbed too), cringed, smiled, and laughed a little! I like that Will has incorporated his early years, BUDS training, his unimaginable trust, bond, love, loyalty, and devotion to Cairo!! So looking forward to reading more, to see where he goes next!!! Will, I love you and will be forever grateful for your service, Cairo’s service, and the many sacrifices you’ve both endured for our country!! I pray for your continued good health!! Thank you Will for putting your story out there for all of us to share what most of us could never begin to imagine!! Love and many blessings to you always!!

Marley and Me with Navy SEALs!

22 April 2020 - Published on Amazon.com

Verified Purchase

This book is absolutely outstanding! It’s like Marley and me, but with Navy SEALs. I was quite literally laughing while I was crying half the time. It’s beautifully written and an amazing story about the friendship between a military working dog and his handler. Plus, I’m always fascinated with any insight into the Osama bin Laden raid. It’s a great departure from all the self aggrandizing Navy seal books out there. It’s obvious Chesney had a special connection with this dog, and doesn’t want the limelight. This is all about Cairo.

Excellent Book

21 April 2020 - Published on Amazon.com

No Ordinary Dog by Will Chesney; Joe Layden is a wonderful story told through Will himself about his upbringing, training, time during active duty with the SEALs, and his time afterwards. Two areas that I was drawn to the most ( although I loved the entire book) is his story and partnership with Cairo, a stunning Belgian Malinois whom Will was Dad and partner throughout several deployments and time here in the States, and Will’s struggles and perseverance through his physical injuries and also his psychiatric obstacles after experiencing a TBI while on a mission.

As someone who has always had a dog as part of my family, and someone that comes from an extensive family history of serving in the Marines and Army in combat, as well as a full time profession, and someone that passionately supports our military and veterans, I was obviously drawn to this book immediately.

To be able to glimpse inside the dynamics, training, and utter trust, love, and loyalty in Will and Cairo’s relationship was amazing. Will was not just a handler and Cairo is not just a service dog. They were so much more to each other. It almost seemed as if each half made the other a better being. I was just in awe of all the preparation, training, physical obstacles, and the utter devotion that they had for one another on and off the field, and also “post-game”.

I also truly appreciated Will sharing his story of injury, sadness, TBI, PTSD, and his ongoing road to recovery. He is beyond impressive, and I am in awe of his honesty and determination to find the life he deserves. I am very happy for him and his family.

There were times that I laughed, and definitely two times I cried, like really, really hard. Anyone that has a dog as part of their family know what I mean.

This is an amazing book for anyone that is passionate about dogs, training, military, our veterans, and helping find the road to recovery for once they return home.

5/5 stars enthusiastically

I am a dog lover. Can't imagine my life without the love of a dog. As a retired Fighter Pilot, I appreciate the sacrifice that these men and their canine partners make in the defense of our country. Will truly loved Cairo and stuck with him until the end.

Absolutely a must read! A beautiful tribute to K9 warriors

26 April 2020 - Published on Amazon.com

Verified Purchase

This book is a MUST READ! What an incredible story of courage, sacrifice, commitment and most of all love! A moving tribute to an incredible dog, a best friend, and how lucky are we all that it has been shared with us! This is a book you can’t put down until you’ve read cover to cover!! It’s that powerful.

I suspect there are many stories similar to Cairo and Will’s that we will never know but I don’t doubt that each is just as powerful and moving so I just wanted to say ...... Thank you for your willingness to share it all, for staying in the fight now for those who will benefit from your experiences with the invisible enemy of PTS and TBI. Thank you for yours and Cairo’s service. Thank you for this book, I laughed, I cried, I went down memory lane remembering a lot of what’s happened over the last 20 years in this country.
