Review by Horn Book Review

In this series, man's best friend is showcased helping with human therapy, providing assistance to police officers and firefighters, and saving lives through search-and-rescue work. The texts provide superficial basic information about the animals' training and give examples of specific heroic canines. Numerous photographs show the dogs at work in each specialty area. Reading list. Glos., ind. [Review covers these Amazing Working Dogs with American Humane titles: Fire Dog Heroes, Guide Dog Heroes, Police Dog Heroes, Search and Rescue Dog Heroes, Service Dog Heroes, and Therapy Dog Heroes.] (c) Copyright 2011.
