Heart-tugging true stories of the courage, faith, and loyalty of remarkable service dogs.

Not all heroic dogs wildly toss themselves into lifesaving situations. Some save lives simply by their incredible commitment to duty and service. Some lead the way to independence for people whose disabilities were supposed to limit their lives.

In Service Tails: More Stories of Man’s Best Hero, prolific author Ace Collins introduces us to leaders whose entire lives are wrapped in the banner of service. Their stories are remarkable snapshots of the value of vision and teamwork, as well as devotion to duty and unconditional love and acceptance–stretching the way we see both canine and human potential. Their training was intense, their loyalty unquestioned and each step of the way they constantly adapt to better serve those they lead. These unforgettable dogs are more than heroes; they are models from which we can learn how to love and serve unconditionally.

MY THOUGHTS

Gifted in both the fiction and non-fiction genres, Ace Collins presents a compelling collection of stories of individuals whose lives have been forever impacted by their service dogs. These "tails" include more than traditional "seeing-eye dogs" to include service dogs that aid individuals with a variety of disabilities. I was fascinated by the care involved in choosing and training a dog for each individual's specific needs. Inspiring, heartwarming, and educational, Service Tails gives a new appreciation for these heroes who perform a vital role in our society. Don't miss this uplifting book.
