Today I want to tell you about a book that I have enjoyed very much. "Man's Best Hero: True Stories of Great American Dogs" by Ace Collins contains several good dog stories that tell about how dog's changed people's lives or rescued people from dangerous situations. Some of the stories will be familiar to those who have read a lot of dog story books. As long time blog readers will know, I've read many dog story books and many of the stories in this book were new to me.
There were three stories in this collection that I especially enjoyed. One story is about a mixed breed dog named Patches who saved his owners life when his owner injured his legs and fell into freezing cold water. This is an exciting story to read.
Another great story recounts how Pal, the dog who was the original Lassie, helped his owner pull off a real life rescue off the coast of Catalina Island.
My favorite story in the book is about a dog named Bum. A man who was down and out and who was given a second chance in life turns around and rescues a dog who needed a second chance. These two became an inseparable pair, and one ended up saving the other on Christmas Day.
Those who love good story telling will definitely enjoying reading "Man's Best Hero". I wish that there were more good books like this available.
