- Synopsis
- Aptly named "man's best friend," dogs often perform extremely heroic and dangerous roles in their jobs. Dog Heroes is the first book to celebrate these brave dogs and their handlers. In addition to high-profile "disaster dogs," the U.S. has a wealth of search dogs performing numerous critical jobs, including seeking out bombs, drugs, land mines, criminals, and abducted children. Author Jen Bidner is a volunteer K9 handler with Illinois- Wisconsin Search & Rescue Dogs (ILL-WIS), a not-for-profit canine unit that helps law enforcement agencies and fire departments in the Midwest find lost and missing people.
