Humans are indebted to dogs. We get them to do all the jobs we cant do; we expect them to save our lives, uphold the law, find our missing, comfort our sick and elderly, be our eyes and ears, watch over our families, move our stock, entertain us and keep us warm all for a bowl of food, the tug of a toy and a pat at the end of the day. Dogs in Action describes the vast range of jobs undertaken by dogs around the world, with anecdotes that all dog lovers can appreciate. Maria Alomajan is a freelance journalist based in Auckland. She trained as an actor, has also worked in PR and advertising, and has lived in England, the USA and Australia. Maria has won awards for her travel writing, notably about elephants in Thailand, and is passionate about animal welfare.
