When Debbie Zeisler adopted a huge dog named Bear from an animal shelter, she had no idea that one day he would save her life. In 2011, Debbie was leaving her house when Bear suddenly blocked her path. Somehow, the big dog sensed that Debbie, who suffers from seizures, was going to have an attack. Unaware of what was coming, Debbie continued walking. Then the seizure struck, and Debbie fell down and banged her head. Bear, the amazing shelter dog, ran to get help—and, ultimately, helped save his owner's life. This is just one of many inspiring stories found inShelter Dogs. After being rescued, many shelter dogs, just like Bear, go on to do extraordinary things. From searching for earthquake survivors to helping people with medical problems, young readers will be amazed at how shelter dogs save lives and help people in need.

      Grades 3-5 From sled dogs to therapy dogs to prison puppies, the books in the Dog Heroes series fulfill every dog lover's need for more, more, more about humankind's best friend. Oh, Shelter Dogs. They break your heart. Luckily, this title focuses on inspiring post-rescue events. This title presents basic information about shelters before introducing a former stray, yellow Lab Riley, who helped search for survivors after the 2011 earthquake and tsunami hit Japan, and others. Full-color photos throughout accent the amazing stories, with small sidebar boxes offering facts. Dogs are heroes; we know that. But these books are a welcome reminder.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2013, American Library Association.)

The volumes are accessible, with numerous photographs and interesting personal anecdotes rounding out the texts. Reading list, websites. Bib., glos., ind.
