Full Description:
From the front fold: "DILIGENT. LOYAL. HARDWORKING. MAN'S best friend. They sniff for bombs, guard against intruders, and act as eyes for the blind. They herd cattle, star in films, and brighten the faces of children. They've heroically saved countless lives and brought companionship to the lonely. WORKING DOGS is their story. ...In a series of fascinating profiles, you'll be introduced to 39 working dogs from across America. You'll meet Mango, the agriculture-detecting beagle who helps prevent unwanted pests and diseases from entering the country; Soccer, the Jack Russell terrier and star of WISHBONE, the award-winning PBS show about a dog who leaps into literature; and Breeze, the cancer-detecting Golden Retriever who has an accuracy rate of 100 percent." From the back fold: "From herd dogs to earthquake-predicting poodles, from police K-9s to performance artist divas to the two basset hounds from Russia who work in a nonprofit circus - just to make kids happy - this captivating book is a delightful tribute to those canine professionals who make our lives a little better." Seller's note: book has black-and-white photos of each dog. |
