By Ace Collins
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.

This is a great book about some really amazing dogs. When most people think of a service dog, they think of “seeing eye” dogs for the blind.
But that’s only the beginning. When I started reading this book I didn’t want to stop. And when the book ended I still didn’t want to stop.
Thank you so much, Mr. Collins, for this very enlightening and interesting book. Please give us more of these stories.
