'There's so much more to this book than simply celebrating the
humble hound; it's a celebration of British innovation and an
unbreakable bond with dogs.'
*All About History Magazine*
'This is a book that will inspire and amaze people of all ages who
like to live on the right side of the law. [...] This is sometimes
a real tear jerker, sometimes a wonderful piece of animal history,
but at all times, it is a joy to read. Superb.'
*Books Monthy June 2016*
'I found it a splendid read for anyone if only slightly interested
in the relationship between man and canine [...] If you want to
read about the daily work of remarkably dedicated officers and
their four-legged helpers, this is the book.'
*Police History Society Newsletter 88 of September 2016*
