I haven’t read it yet, but Fabulous Finn is a true story about a British police dog who saved the life of his handler while almost losing his own life by being stabbed. It has started a movement in the UK to introduce a law giving extra protection to all service dogs.

Merle’s Door by Ted Kerasote has been mentioned already, but it is by far the best dog book I have ever read. Though I haven’t done it in a few years now, I used to purchase copies of it to give to people I got to know at the local dog park. What a terrific read!

Judy by Damien Lewis
About a dog that was a POW in WW2 and subsequently awarded the Dickin Medal. Utterly compelling and inspiring reading.
For adult and older teenager readers due to some of the harrowing descriptions of POW treatment.

May I offer you some of my favourite dog books? Here they are: Oogy by Larry Levin. James Herriot’s Dog Stories. Merle’s Door by Ted Keresote. Pukka’s Promise by Ted Keresote. ( read Marie’s Door first). Tell me Where it Hurts by Nick Trout. Any of Jon Katz’s dog books such as One Good Dog and The Dogs of Bedlam Farm. All excellent books. I have read each of these books a minimum of twice. Happy reading!
