Horn Book (Tue Apr 01 00:00:00 CDT 2014)

These books focus on man's best friend not as a pet but as on-the-job canines selected and trained to improve human lives by supporting military personnel and assisting people with disabilities, illnesses, or emotional problems. Color photos (many poorly cropped or suffering from design flaws) and sidebars with word definitions, anecdotes, and facts complement the matter-of-fact text. Reading list. Glos., ind.
