Amazing Dogs with Amazing Jobs

Description

AMAZING TRUE STORIES OF 30 DOGS AND THEIR AMAZING JOBS! Dogs have been living with and helping humans for around fifteen thousand years. All those years ago dogs were either hunters or guardians, but these days, dogs can do all kinds of amazing jobs. In this book, find out how Bailey the border collie became the Assistant Director of Seagulls at the Australian National Maritime Museum, or what Caesar, the footy mascot for the Western Bulldogs, does during footy season. Discover how Mr Walker became a canine ambassador at a Melbourne hotel and how Molly Polly, the Aussie silky terrier, saves lives. With the right training, there is almost nothing a dog can't do. How truly amazing is that?!
