Do you know what dogs are capable of? Read on to discover the amazing stories of heroic dogs who save lives daily!
Dogs to the Rescue by Lucas Riera explores how dogs are more than just members of our families and faithful companions - they can be heroes too!
Not only are dogs incredibly cute, but they are also really clever, with different breeds having unique traits that can be very helpful in risky situations. This book is a tribute to the abilities that dogs have to help us, featuring 19 amazing stories of inspirational doggy heroes, perfect for young readers.
Written in collaboration with the Affinity Foundation (France & Spain), an organisation focusing on helping abandoned pets and raising awareness about the significant impact pets have on humans, each of the brave dogs covered in the book is even more impressive than the last.
You'll read about dogs who help the elderly, unhoused people, and those learning hard lessons in prisons by offering their canine compassion. There are also working dogs who are part of the police department, fire brigade, and mountain rescue.
These ordinary dogs doing extraordinary things can teach a lesson to us all!
