Super Dogs

This collection gathers stories of brave, loyal and hardworking dogs. Its subjects range across famous historical animals, canines from myth and fiction, and real-life rescuers. Among them are dogs that served in wartime, working dogs that carried out daily jobs, dogs that saved lives, and dogs that flew into space as part of scientific research.

The book makes no claim that these animals wear capes or have powers from comics. Their remarkable qualities come from courage, trustworthiness and devotion to the people around them. Each tale shows why dogs have long been valued as companions.

The stories suit readers who enjoy animal history and want to learn about canines in many settings, from the battlefield and the laboratory to the rescue site and the household.
