5.0 out of 5 stars Moving And Inspiring!, February 26, 2002

This review is from: Michelle and Me (Paperback)

This book was unique in the way it showed a wonderful relationship between a man and his friend. It also gives an average person an insightful glimpse into the world of Search and Rescue Dogs life along with their trainers.
I have a new found respect for what these animals and people go through.
I'm handicapped and in a wheelchair and after reading this book and learning how smart, loving, and intelligent the Doberman breed can be, I have decided my next Service Dog will in fact be a Dobe and I hope I get as lucky as Tom did with his Michelle.

What a great read. I was inspired especially when finding out that he not only volunteers his time to do search and rescue but that his K9 partner is a Doberman instead of the typical shepards. The stories were wonderful; I got a feel for what true search & rescue is like....not just all happy or gruesome endings. Hope he continues to write additional books.

I highly recommend this book, especially if you are an animal lover. Readers will find that Tom Shelby seems to inhabit Michelle's brain and soul. Their relationship is amazing and touching. Mr. Shelby's training tips which follow each SAR story are practical and wonderfully simple. Thank you to Tom and Michelle (and all the other hardworking SAR teams) for your continuing work.
