Book ID/图书代码： 14560015B85629
English Summary/英文概要： A heartwarming and inspirational book for the tens of millions of dog owners and dog lovers—and the newest addition to the phenomenal Unlikely Friendships series, a publishing program with three New York Times bestselling books and, with its bestselling calendars, nearly two million copies in print.
Unlikely Friendships: Dogs brings together twenty-seven new stories of canine kindness and courage, plus a handful of classic tales involving dogs from Unlikely Friendships, Unlikely Loves, and Unlikely Heroes.
Meet Rex, a Belgian Malinois who learned to love and trust again through the improbable friendship of a goose. Popeye the Mastiff, who ran into a burning stable and saved seventeen terrified horses by nibbling at their hooves. And a pit bull named Dolly, whose antics with her best friend, Sheldon the tortoise, include games of tag. (Yes, picture a tortoise running after a dog!)
Enhanced with beautiful full-color photographs, these true stories of camaraderie, affection, and remarkable bravery are more than a lovely tribute; they are proof that dogs are every creature’s best friend.

“The awh- and awe-inspiring stories and photographs in Unlikely Friendships: Dogs feature my favorite combinations: canines with all critters furred, feathered, and scaled, dogs with people, and, of course—dogs with dogs. I was amused, moved—and at times astonished. I shouldn’t have been: Dogs rule and these unlikely friendships delight.”—Cat Warren, author of the New York Times bestseller What the Dog Knows: Scent, Science, and the Amazing Ways Dogs Perceive the World
“This wonderful book shows the enormous capacity of dogs for love and friendship. The stories here are fabulous, uplifting, and a joy to read, letting us know how much we still have to learn about the dogs we live with.”—Con Slobodchikoff, Ph.D., author of Chasing Doctor Dolittle: Learning the Language of Animals
“Dogs win our hearts because they are all heart, and Holland’s new book is packed with stories of canine big-heartedness.

Certain to be a big hit with dog lovers everywhere.”—Virginia Morell, author of the New York Times bestseller Animal Wise: How We Know Animals Think and Feel
