A wealth of loyal and dedicated search dogs perform critical and
often surprising jobs every day, including finding lost or abducted
children, identifying unmarked Civil War grave sites, recovering
avalanche victims, discovering dangerous gas-line leaks, and
pulling drowning swimmers to shore. Search dogs have even been used
to find skin cancer with better accuracy than doctors!
Images of canine heroes finding the victims of the 9/11 World Trade
Center terrorist attacks and rescuing people from the devastation
of Hurricane Katrina provide dramatic proof of their worth, yet
it's usually the search dogs in local
communities that capture our hearts and proudly demonstrate the
important role that working dogs play. Search dog trainer and
photographer Jen Bidner brings her knowledge of the field to Dog
Heroes, the first book to celebrate the stories of these brave dogs
and their handlers and highlight their capabilities with dramatic
photographs. In addition to rousing real-life tales, Bidner writes
about the history of canine search and rescue, complete with photos
and artwork from the turn of the century. Detailed information on
getting started in canine search and rescue rounds out this
terrific book.
