Book Synopsis
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 organization focusing 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.
