The more I read the books in this series, the more I'm amazed at all the incredible things dogs do. The fact that it can take a long time to find a handler for a dog once it's trained was something I'd never considered before. It really is a partnership when people work with these animals.

Great introduction to the topic and definitely holds my interest to the end. I'd like to read the rest of the books in this series.
