Max Hamilton is an award winning illustrator of The Beehive, Cockatoo, Neeka and the Missing Key (Wilder Zoo, #1) and more. Here she has written and illustrated a great introduction to the world of the working dog.
This is a fascinating book for anyone who knows and loves dogs. We learn about Albie who guards the Sydney Opera House cafe. His job is to stop seagulls from stealing people’s food. There’s Dutch who helps nervous patients feel calm in the dentist’s chair. There’s a beekeeper dog, a water rescue dog, a school companion dog and Eba, the fascinating whale poo dog, whose job is to sniff out whale poo in the water which is then collected by scientist who monitor the health, movement and diet of orca whales.
In all there are fifteen dogs profiled who all have impressive specialised jobs. They come in all shapes, sizes and colours and from all over the world, Italy, the USA, Austria, France and Japan but the majority of dogs are from Australia.
