Defying danger, dogs race to the rescue in this fast-paced story of canine heroes helping people escape life-threatening disasters. Disaster Search Dogs follows real-life dogs bravely searching for victims buried under the wreckage of the World Trade Center and other disaster sites.

Packed with exciting anecdotes and vivid four-color photos, Disaster Search Dogs details how dogs are expertly trained to work with human partners toward a single goal-saving lives.
