With a Dog's Love: Clever Dogs Helping Humans

Description

Dogs want to be with us and to please us. They make good mates. They make us laugh. They keep us healthy and supply endless cuddles. Their love is unconditional, and they never judge us. They ask for little in return kindness, a comfy bed, exercise and regular meals. With a dog at your side, you have an amazing friend. But some dogs do a little bit more. They aren t always dogs who make the frontpage news with heroics. Instead, they go about their lives quietly and willingly doing their best to help humans, young and old, in a variety of sometimes surprising ways that make a huge difference. With a Dog s Love features 16 inspirational and uplifting stories for the young reader, complete with photographs, about dogs who are quiet heroes. The stories of these incredibly special dogs celebrate the strong bond between dog and human and the amazing impact dogs can have on our lives.
