This book is a collection of stories about special animals whose bravery saved lives. One story that is particularly interesting is about Daisy, a Labrador Retriever, who was being trained by Dr. Guest to detect cancer in humans. Dr. Guest was experimenting on special dogs to see if they could detect cancer. In the middle of her training, Daisy detects cancer in Dr. Guest. Not only did this save Dr. Guest’s life by warning her to get the treatment as soon as possible, but it also confirmed to Dr. Guest that training a dog to detect cancer is possible. This book also contains explanations about possible reasons why the animals saved the life of their human companions. There is only one way you will know that you like this book. Read it!
Opinion:
I really enjoyed this book! The stories were so full of details that I never finished reading a story with unanswered questions. The illustrations fit very well with the book. The explanations about the psychology behind why the animals did what they did were easily understood. The setup made it easy to find each of the stories and look up the references. All in all, the author did a terrific job! I recommend this book for all animal lovers and non-animal lovers ages 12 and up!
