Iraqi Dog Helps Troops, Then....
GERMAN SHEPHERD COMES TO USA
American soldiers purchased an Iraqi-born German Shepherd from the Kurds during the
recent war to assist them in war operations. The dog, with the unlikely name of Fluffy,
was trained to serve as a guard dog for a U.S. Special Forces unit of 12 men. Now his
handler has made a successful effort to repay the dog's loyalty.

THE NEW WORK OF DOGS: Tending to Life, Love and Family
By Jon Katz
----------------------
Author and
journalist Jon Katz first explored the lives of working dogs in his popular book "A
Dog Year: Twelve Months, Four Dogs and Me," warmly reviewed
by WorkingDogWeb at the time. Now Jon is back with a new book filled with sensitive
portrayals of people and their dogs, from passionate dog rescuer Betty Jean to corporate
lawyer Rob and his best friend Cherokee, the black Labrador, to the Divorced Dogs Club.
Through these well chosen stories, he describes the new work of dogs, emotional work,
supportive work, rather than hunting, herding and hauling. What does this new work mean
for dogs? he asks.
Anyone who
is interested in dog rescue, canine welfare or just loves stories of dogs and their people
will enjoy this book. I did. To examine
and order this book, just click through the link on the left side of the WorkingDogWeb
home page or the link at left.
