Beautiful photos of working dogs some of us seldom see in their work, and then I've never even seen a photo of a Karelian Bear Dog (Russia)! Or Maremma Sheepdogs (from the Apennines) trained to protect little penguins from foxes in Australia.

I requested and received a free temporary ebook from Orca Book Publishers via NetGalley. Thank you!
