Dog Tales: True Stories of Heroic Hounds by Penelope Rich

4.0

This is a lovely accessible book looking at the lives and actions of exceptional dogs throughout the world. The stories are varied, looking at dogs in conflict, assistance dogs, rescue dogs, explorers and actors. I learned a few things I didn't know and there was enough information on each dog for young readers to get a good feel for their achievements. One of the key aspects highlighted was loyalty, it's a thread that runs throughout the book and links into all the stories. The illustrations are nicely done, there's some top tips on looking after a puppy/dog at the back as well as further information. I really liked this.
My thanks to #NetGalley and Arcturus Publishing for the ARC in return for an honest review.
