Dogs are more than just members of our families and faithful companions - they can be heroes too! Not only are dogs incredibly cute, they are also really clever with different breeds having unique traits that can be very helpful in risky situations. This book is a tribute to the abilities that dogs have to help us, and the 19 amazing stories of inspirational doggy heroes are perfect for young readers. Written in collaboration with the Affinity Foundation (France & Spain), an organisation focussing on helping abandoned pets and raising awareness about how great an impact pets have on humans, each of the brave dogs covered is even more impressive than the last. You'll read about: Dogs who help the elderly, unhoused people and people learning hard lessons in prisons by offering their canine compassion. Working dogs who are part of the police department, fire brigade, and mountain rescue. These ordinary dogs doing extraordinary things can teach a lesson to us all!
