Nonfiction Book Review: Service Tails: More Stories of Man's Best Hero by Ace Collins

About the book: 
Heart-tugging true stories of the courage, faith, and loyalty of remarkable service dogs.

Not all heroic dogs wildly toss themselves into lifesaving situations. Some save lives simply by their incredible commitment to duty and service. Some lead the way to independence for people whose disabilities were supposed to limit their lives.

In Service Tails: More Stories of Man's Best Hero, prolific author Ace Collins introduces us to leaders whose entire lives are wrapped in the banner of service. Their stories are remarkable snapshots of the value of vision and teamwork, as well as devotion to duty and unconditional love and acceptance---stretching the way we see both canine and human potential. Their training was intense, their loyalty unquestioned and each step of the way they constantly adapt to better serve those they lead. These unforgettable dogs are more than heroes; they are models from which we can learn how to love and serve unconditionally.

My Review:
Service Tails is filled with heartwarming and heroic stories, and I love it. Being a dog lover and owner, I know how intelligent, caring, and attentive our canine friends can be. My dogs are not service dogs, but they provide me with friendship and calm. The dogs in the book have gone through extensive training that helps them stay focused on their job, as a result you'll read about some amazing pups and the people they care for. From time to time we have therapy dogs visit the college where I work. Everyone is drawn to these kind creatures. They are especially appreciated during exam weeks when the students and staff are under extra stress. And just like in the book, they draw people to them. Every unique story in Service Tails shares one thing in common. Each person's service dog draws people to their owner which fills an otherwise lonely world. These tales will make you smile, cry, and better understand the deep need for these precious canines. I highly recommend this book to dog lovers, anyone interested in service dogs, and anyone who loves reading uplifting true-life stories. I received this book in exchange for a fair review.
