- Synopsis
- Dogs have long been faithful companions to humans, but there are some extraordinary canines with unique skills and superior work ethics that go above and beyond their traditional roles as pets. These are the hero dogs. From bomb-sniffing dogs and contraband dogs to guide dogs, therapy dogs, and search and rescue dogs, these specially trained canines play an important part in the lives of many. On a daily basis, whether we realize it or not, these devoted animals are here to assist, protect, comfort, and, in many cases, rescue us. Award-winning author Donna M. Jackson takes an in-depth look at these courageous canines and their amazing accomplishments. Featuring stories from the September 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon; historical and scientific facts; and dramatic photographs, this book explores some incredibly heroic and heartwarming moments that will fascinate readers of all ages.
