Publisher's summary
Read by the author.
Take a ride-along with Sergeant Mark Tappan and his amazing K9 partner Mattis, whose heroic actions will inspire you to live courageously, serve selflessly, and love passionately because every human (and dog) has a purpose.
Sergeant Mark Tappan shares a unique bond with his K9 partner Mattis, one of the most decorated police K9s of all time. Mark knew from the first time they interacted that Mattis was something special. As a man of deep faith, Mark also knew that God's most profound teaching often comes through the most unexpected sources, and he soon realized that Mattis was going to teach him about loyalty, selfless service, and so much more.
In A Dog Named Mattis, Mark shares twelve life lessons he's learned from working with Mattis. Through these first-hand accounts of bravery and service, you will learn profound lessons, like:
- being willing to 'go all in' and work with all your heart even when things are uncertain,
- how persistence pays off when you are willing to stick with what you know is right,
- how to be strong and courageous in the face of adversity,
- and much more.
You will also get a behind-the-scenes look at the world of police K9s and gain a deeper understanding of:
- the many ways that K9 units assist police departments,
- what a K9 officer's daily life looks like,
- what kind of training police dogs and their handlers must go through,
- how a police dog is tested and selected,
- and the lengths a dog will go to in order to complete their mission.
A Dog Named Mattis will capture the hearts of dog lovers everywhere and remind you that true success is built on relationships filled with trust, communication, and love.

The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

The book of Enoch was thought to be lost for over 2,000 years until, in 1773, a traveller brought three copies back from Ethiopia. Whether or not this ancient book was actually authored by Enoch, the father of Methuselah and great-grandfather of Noah, is an ongoing debate among historians and theologians. But all recognise the book of Enoch as one of the most important apocalyptic works outside of the Bible.

Story
Turning the other cheek does not mean standing by while the enemies of God dismantle Christian civilization and brainwash our children. Decrying the cowardice that masquerades as meekness, Eric Metaxas summons the Church to battle. An attenuated and unbiblical “faith” based on what Bonhoeffer called “cheap grace” has sapped the spiritual vitality of millions of Americans. Paying lip service to an insipid “evangelism,” they shrink from combating the evils of our time. Metaxas refutes the pernicious lie that fighting evil politicizes Christianity.

The Qur'an, believed by Muslims to be the word of God, was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad 1,400 years ago. It is the supreme authority in Islam and the living source of all Islamic teaching; it is a sacred text and a book of guidance that sets out the creed, rituals, ethics, and laws of the Islamic religion. It has been one of the most influential books in the history of literature. Recognized as the greatest literary masterpiece in Arabic, it has nevertheless remained difficult to understand in its English translations.

Many of them are in this book: some are embarrassing (like when she tried to break her three year spell of celibacy using a guide of seduction tips). Some are confessional (getting sentenced to the “hell hill” at Mormon church camp). Some are TMI (a series of outrageous doctor visits that ended with one doctor misdiagnosing her as “pregnant.” Woopsies!).

In 2011, three successful and highly educated women fell head over heels for the brilliant and charming Ethan Schuman. Unbeknownst to the others, each exchanged countless messages with Ethan, staying up late into the evenings to deepen their connections with this fascinating man. His detailed excuses about broken webcams and complicated international calling plans seemed believable, as did last minute trip cancellations. After all, why would he lie?

The War on Warriors uncovers the deep roots of our dysfunction—a society that has forgotten the men who take risks, cut through red tape, and get their hands dirty. The only kind of men prepared to face the dangers that the Left pretends don’t exist. Unlike issues of education or taxes or crime, this problem doesn’t have a zip code solution. We can’t move away from it. We can’t avoid it. We have only one Pentagon. Either we take it back or surrender it altogether.

It will make you feel all the feels
A dog named Mattis
Where does one start in describing the adventure you go in within this book? I purchased the audiobook bc with a newborn sitting down to read isn’t always the easiest thing. However I was able to listen to it, in a day, while commuting to her drs appt and back and doing other activities. I’ve since listened to it another 2 times.
First of all, the fact that you get to hear Mark Tappan narrate the book is the best. You get to feel the same feelings he had. The pride, the excitement, the fear, the pain, the joy, the passion. You can hear the heartache in his voice as he tells you about his 1st K9 partner and about Mattis’ accident, the pure tenacity of his journey into being a handler, the pride in being Mattis’ partner and best friend, the passion he has for the job and the training that comes with it all.
It’s clear that Mark and Mattis were meant to be together. I’ve seen their connection since the first time I saw them competing on Americas Top Dog, when he hit that water with Mattis it was the absolute coolest thing. “Where he goes, I go.” I didn’t know Mattis’ story the night I watched him On America’s Top Dog but he stole my heart right then. When I stumbled on Mark and Mattis on TikTok it was impossible not to love the duo. Mark and Mattis share an incredible bond and remarkable partnership. They’re love and respect they share for each other is incredible and there’s no doubt Mark and Mattis have learned from the best to become the best.
Whether you read or listen to this book you will 100% laugh, cry, cheer them on, share in the joys, snicker at the dumb criminals, whoop with joy when they persevere. You’ll Al’s be in constant awe of how smart Mattis really is. You will truly come out with not only a better perspective on what it takes to be a K9 handler/officer but also how to be a better human. It will give you plenty to reflect upon.
Thank you Mark for writing such a great book and for sharing your best friend with all of us. Thank you for sharing your passion with us. The world is a better place bc you and Mattis are in it.

Unwavering bond
Though I am not usually a fan of Memoirs, I AM an avid animal lover with immense respect for K-9 officers and their partners so this book was a must have.
I was so touched by this story! I laughed and I cried and felt every ounce of emotion that the author penned in this book. Wonderfully written and narrated by the man who bonded so deeply with his partner, it is a must read/listen for anyone who loves animals, respects the badge or even just needs a feel good story to brighten their day! I highly recommend this book!

What an Amazing Partnership!
I found Mark & Mattis on IG due to my love for all dogs. Mattis' skills are beyond comprehension with Mark as his best friend and trainer. Following their relationship and Mark sharing his life with Mattis, his family, Storm and Hawk is great and a humble thing to do.
Being from GA he makes me proud to know him and his Purpose.
May God continue to Bless them and have many more years with the one and only "Cadillac" Mattis!!

The love and respect between dog and handler.
I loved the story of how Mark met Mattis and the instant connection they had, how Mattis would do anything for his best friend Mark and vice versa. I actually cried when Mattis was hurt. I will definitely be purchasing the hard copy so I can read again and again!

The greatest lessons learned from a very special dog and perseverance
I highly recommend buying the audible. It is told by Mark, himself. Throughout the book you can hear and feel his emotions. What I loved most was it was as if he was sitting down in front of me telling me the story. You will need Kleenex for sure. You’ll cry in sadness but also cry in happiness. You can tell Mark is fighting back crying which is remarkable because the story of Mattis is powerful and he showed emotion and that says a lot. But he told the story effortlessly. Mark is the face of perseverance and no give up attitude. There’s new parts of Mattis that I learned and I loved that. They are very inspiring and really have the so much more than just a dog and his handler/Dad/Best Friend. I’ve never seen a dog like Mattis. You will catch on very quickly that he has the ultimate grand supreme intelligence and abilities that will blow your mind. He’s so much more than a dog. I will always say with Mark’s non-stop training and reaching higher and higher levels of perfection that Mattis has the best trainer out there and Mattis has proven nothing is off limits. He’s clearly a dog you could place a bet on no matter what it is and you can be sure you will not lose that bet. He’s endlessly achieving things I have never seen a dog do. I grew up with Collies. They’re very smart. But not like Mattis. This book was read with perfection and raw emotions. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll want to celebrate and cheer out loud. I know I did. I think this would make a great book for all officers to read. There’s many lessons that I think can be applied in their jobs as K9 handlers and also all officers that aren’t in the K9 Unit. The things these 2 went through together and worked so fiercely is outstanding. People say this often but I sincerely mean this a Cadillac will hold special meaning to me, I will never forget the names Amanda and Vinnie and I will never see a white hotel towel the same ever again. Each of those tell incredible stories. This book made me want to be “The Cadillac”! I also think Katie Linendoll is an amazing person and I’m thankful myself that they became friends because look at all the wonderful things they’ve done together! Best book ever, truly!

The most Godly love story ever!
I have followed Mark and Mattis for several years on social media and this book put it all together for me! I knew they were an amazing dog and handler, but had no idea to what degree. This book made me laugh, it made me cry, it makes me happy and it also makes me sad that one day, Mattis will be gone. He is a LEGEND! Mark Tappan has made this K9 one who we all know and LOVE! I cannot thank him enough for writing this book and sharing their incredible story with the world. I cherish all of my Mattis books, shirts, pics and a lifetime of stories! Thank you Mark, from the bottom of my heart, for allowing me to see inside of yours and Mattis’ for a few hours. We needed this more than you know! Such a good boi!!!
