Animals With Jobs…Police Dogs

       This is a great book; i think it would even get many young boys who don’t normally wish to read to pick up the book and even finish reading it. 

         Many a young child expresses and interest in becoming a police officer.  Lots of television shows, focus on police dogs in their dramas.  There has always been alot of interest in how police dogs know what to do.  This book explains the kind of work that they do, how they are trained, who they stay with and how they act when they are not doing a job for the police.  Police dogs are also called K-9 units; they live and work with their handlers.  There are certain kinds of dogs that are better at police work than other dogs.  See how the dogs are taught to chase criminals, work at airports to find drugs, help protect their human police partners. 

        This is a book that answers questions that kids ask, that many parents and teacher don’t have the answers to.  This book was written by Judith Janda Presnall.  It was copyrighted 2002 by KidHaven Press, an imprint of Gale Group, Inc.  It is written as juvenile literature.

        There are many pictures in the book and even a glossary of terms in the back for a child to understand the terminology better.
