Dogny: America's Tribute to Search and Rescue Dogs
Reader's Review
This book is a beautiful,thought provoking tribute to the wonderful service provided by the trained search
and rescue operations carried out by these dogs, with particular emphasis on 9/11.Over 100 life sized
German Shepherd forms were distributed to artists to paint in any fashion they wished to celebrate
these animals. The results were exceptional. Each piece of art was given a name ,displayed and later
auctioned off with the proceeds used for the future benefit of these dogs. Each piece of art is explained
by the artist and there is also a short note about the artist. Overall this is a well put together coffee table
sized book and should be appreciated by everyone.

Adult/High School—This oversize pictorial work profiles various canines; color photos on every page
show them at work. Comments from the owners describe the dogs and what they did. Many individuals
mention how hard it was for the animals not to find survivors, but what a comfort their presence was for
the many firefighters and other rescue workers on the scene. Besides searching at the World Trade
Center and at the Pentagon, dogs were used to locate remains at the Fresh Kills Landfill site. The book
also has information about dog search and rescue and FEMA certification. A compelling browsing item
that will attract teens.—Teri Titus, San Mateo County Library, CA

From Library Journal
This is a truly remarkable account of an uncommon woman, her extraordinary German shepherd dogs,
and their combined talent and devotion. Hebard, a pioneer in the area of canine search-and-rescue
work, recounts with co-author Whittemore over 25 years of her life spent training her dogs, herself, and
others to assist in the location of lost persons, criminals, and disaster victims. A woman of conviction
and purpose, Hebard was able to rise to head of the U.S. Disaster Team Canine Unit and still raise a
family. Hebard describes her motivation, how she acquired her dogs, and how she trained them and
provides gripping, sometimes graphic, accounts of rescues she participated in. (She located cadavers
as well as live persons.) Readers will feel the terror of the 1985 Mexico City earthquake and the horror of
the Oklahoma City bombing. They will grieve with Hebard and her family as her canine partners age and
pass on. Readers will also be impressed by Hebard's depth of understanding of canine psychology and
positive motivational training techniques. Highly recommended.?Edell Marie Schaefer, Brookfield P.L.,
