Summary

• Daisy, the tiny Dachshund who put her life on the line to save her humans from a bear.
 
• Charco, the veteran sniffer dog who has saved countless human lives, and yet still keeps his tail wagging.
 
• Delta, the dog who died trying to protect her young owner from a volcano – after already having saved his life three times.
 
It’s a truth universally acknowledged that dogs are pretty great. But when it comes to facing peril, these loyal creatures always seem willing to step up to the mark and become true doggy heroes. Whether they’re saving humans from dangerous people or situations, helping those who are ill, fighting crime or just following their animal instincts to do good, the true stories collected in this book prove that dogs aren’t only man’s best friend – they’re also inspirational, courageous and selfless companions.

    Faced with an empty nest, stagnant jobs, and an economy in freefall, Kim Brown Seely and her husband decided to embark on a grand adventure.
