Hero Dogs celebrates the noble traits of man's best friend--smarts, guts, devotion, perseverance, and intuition--in an extraordinary array of true stories accompanied by evocative photographs. Among the many adventurers: Mimi, a tiny peach-colored poodle, who saved a family of seven from a fiery death; Weela, a American pit bull terrier, who rescued thirty people, twenty-nine dogs, thirteen horses, and one cat from the perilous water of the swollen Tijuana River; Reona, the astonishing Rottweiler, who jumped three fences during an earthquake to come to the aid of an epileptic child.  Everyone loves a hero, and everyone loves a dog. Here is a book that unites the two.
