Dogs with jobs : working dogs around the world

by Weisbord Merrily.

Synopsis

From the creators of the upcoming thirteen-part television series "Dogs with Jobs," this beautifully illustrated volume offers a delightful portrayal of the world's amazing working dogs, who accomplish incredible tasks in ways humans never could. Award-winning author Merrily Weisbord and veterinarian Kim Kachanoff (a mother-daughter team) profile the vital, heartwarming lives of these remarkable creatures in this ultimate treasure trove for dog lovers everywhere.

Brimming with color and black-and-white photos, "Dogs With Jobs" tells the true stories of those who rescue, detect, entertain, herd, protect, and serve for a living -- including
Star -- the Black Lab arson dog who sniffs out fire-starting chemicals better than any known detection equipment
Yanka and King -- a German Shepherd team that clears Bosnian land mines 100 times faster than any human
Honey Hurricane -- a Cocker Spaniel who coaxes nursing-home patients to smile and laugh again
Elmer -- an Alaskan Husky who leads the team in Alaska's famous sled dog race, the Iditarod
Snooper -- the eco-Beagle who locates infestations of wood-destroying termites
