Summary:
The thirteen exceptional
dogs
in this book will amaze and inspire you. These daring rescues and acts of courage defy logic and illustrate why
dogs
are still the pet of choice in more than 43 million
American
homes. A Malamute named Patches who saved a drowning
man
in freezing water; a mutt named Lulubelle who jumped in front of a truck to push a toddler to the curb; a yellow Labrador Retriever named Roselle who led office workers in one of New York City'
s
Twin Towers down many flights of darkened stairs toward safety on September 11, 2001. All of the
dogs
in these
stories
were in some way incredibly special, to their owners and to many others. And each one, in its own special way, was a
hero
.
