A celebration of the amazing canines who perform feats of bravery every day
Dogs don't just make loveable pets. They also do an incredible number of jobs - police work, therapy, service, and more - and help humans in countless roles. From working with search-and-rescue teams to finding missing persons to helping patients recover from injuries, Lisa Rogak covers the many ways in which dogs are an essential part of our world. And she tells the surprising stories of regular dogs who have gone above and beyond to help their owners - and even one another.
Dogs of Courage reveals the heartwarming and awe-inspiring stories of these hardworking dogs, from the training they receive to the ways we honour their sacrifices and reward their years of service. Affirming what every dog lover knows, this book shows how deep a dog's loyalty and friendship can go.
Lisa Rogak is author of The Dogs of War: The Courage, Love, and Loyalty of Military Working Dogs as well as the Edgar- and Anthony-nominated Haunted Heart: The Life and Times of Stephen King and editor of the New York Times bestselling Barack Obama in His Own Words.
