Synopsis: Hero Dogs celebrates the noble traits of man's best friend -- smarts, guts, devotion, perseverance, and intuition -- in an extraordinary array of true stories. Among the many adventurers: Mimi, a tiny peach-colored poodle, who saved a family of seven from a fiery death. Weela, an American pit bull terrier, who rescued thirty people, twenty-nine dogs, thirteen horses, and one cat from the perilous waters of the swollen Tijuana River. Reona, the astonishing Rottweiler, who jumped three fences during an earthquake to come to the aid of an epileptic child. Everyone loves a hero, and everyone loves a dog. Here is a book that unites the two.
