Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Partnerships between men and dogs are legendary, and the stories told in this book feature all the best qualities of such partnerships: loyalty, heroism, sacrifice, bravery, heartbreak, humor, and more. Again and again, K-9s demonstrate their unique value to their human partners--with their physical speed, ferocity, obedience, and ability to track and discern numerous scents. The anecdotes reflect everything from the nerve-wracking danger of a SWAT mission to the playful pranks of handlers during training sessions. Perhaps most dramatic and poignant are stories from officers who were injured in the line of duty--and the incredible courage and support their dogs demonstrated while staying by their side. For over ten years, Joan Russell traveled the United States to meet with, talk to, and observe the men and women whose experiences she collected in this book. The result is an amazing compendium of tales that anyone interested in law enforcement or in working dogs will find hard to put down.
