How My Dog Saved My Life: Thirty Tales of Courage and Compassion

Synopsis

Dogs are deeply empathetic and able to understand humans in ways that surpass language. Any dog owner knows how comforting it is to have their dog nuzzle them at just the right moment. Dogs can also act in ways that are at times astonishing—not only sensing danger, but actively finding ways to help in an emergency How My Dog Saved My Life is full of stories about clever and courageous canines—dogs that save people from a burning building, run a great distance to bring help to the scene of a car crash, or guide rescuers across the freezing tundra to save their owner in the nick of time. These heroic rescue stories are here. But rescue goes beyond world-altering accidents—often, it’s in the everyday. Dogs and people share a mysteriously communicative bond.

You'll meet some of these remarkable dogs in this book.How My Dog Saved My Life brings you stories of dogs that change the course of their owners’ lives through their physical bravery and uncanny, unwavering commitment to their person. These stories will remind you why the love between humans and their dogs is so enduring and has the power to profoundly change someone’s world.This book is for all dog lovers. It will pull at your heartstrings and teach you a little bit more about the animals that share our homes and lives.
