The book I am reviewing today is entitled, "Loyal: 38 Inspiring Tales of Bravery, Heroism, and the Devotion of Dogs" written by Rebecca Ascher-Walsh. In this excellent book, the author provides the reader with stories of how some great dogs have changed the lives of the people with whom they have come into contact.
There are three of the 38 stories in this book that I enjoyed the most. Klinger is a German shepherd who's made a difference. Klinger is the guide dog for Richard who is a runner. Klinger helps Richard so that Richard can get back to running which is one of the things he loves to do the most.
Atlas is a very large Dogue de Bordeaux. For those that don't know, that's a French mastiff like the dog in the movie Turner and Hooch. Atlas helps children with special needs. He helps the children with their physical therapy, and he provides friendship and support to the children.
Chara is a Norwegian elkhound that serves as a hearing and alert dog. She has saved the life of her owner and her owner's son. Elkhound's are great dogs. I was privileged to know one when I was a boy.
These are just three of the stories about dogs that serve and comfort. I urge you to read this book. All 38 stories will be an inspiration.
