Review

For centuries, dogs have been our faithful companions. They work with us, bring us happiness, protect us, sometimes even save our lives. Dog Heroes: True Stories About Extraordinary Animals Around The World is a tribute to these loyal animals and all that they do for the humans they love. Dog Heroes tells the true stories of more than a score of great dogs from around the world. To illustrate this beautiful book, Alaskan wildlife artist Jon Van Zyle has created twenty-one original full-color paintings along with numerous black-and-white charcoal sketches in perfect compliment to Tim Jones' narrative. -- Midwest Book Review

It will make reading effortless and entertaining. The artwork and graphic layout of the pages makes this modern classic a pure delight to open again and again. If you make this part of your personal library - it will be a treasure your family will cherish.
