Service Tails by Ace Collins

Service Tails (Abingdon Press, August 2016)

Heart-tugging true stories of the courage, faith, and loyalty of remarkable service dogs.

Not all heroic dogs wildly toss themselves into lifesaving situations. Some save lives simply by their incredible commitment to duty and service. Some lead the way to independence for people whose disabilities were supposed to limit their lives.

In Service Tails: More Stories of Man’s Best Hero, prolific author Ace Collins introduces us to leaders whose entire lives are wrapped in the banner of service. Their stories are remarkable snapshots of the value of vision and teamwork, as well as devotion to duty and unconditional love and acceptance–stretching the way we see both canine and human potential. Their training was intense, their loyalty unquestioned and each step of the way they constantly adapt to better serve those they lead. These unforgettable dogs are more than heroes; they are models from which we can learn how to love and serve unconditionally.

My Take: I love reading stories about animals help humans by saving them or helping them in some way.  This is a whole book about just such animals in the form of dogs.  Service dogs help their companions to live a more independant life. Each story tells the tale of how each dog is unique in the way that they help their human. This includes the story of when the first service dog came to America. A great story of dogs loving their humans.  

I received a review copy of this book in exchange for my honest review from Litfuse.
