Unprecedented access to these heroic dog teams has allowed a fascinating first-time-ever look at a very special breed of heroes. Wherever the president goes, there will be dogs. They ll be there no matter what the country or state. They ll be there regardless of the political climate, the danger level, the weather, or the hour. If you let down your guard on the job, says Special Agent Bill G., canine program manager, it can change the history of the world. It s a burden Secret Service dog handlers take extremely seriously regardless of their specialty.

Or my dog s. "Secret Service Dogs" immerses readers into the heart of this elite world of canine teams who protect first families, popes, and presidential candidates: the selection of dogs and handlers, their year-round training, their missions around the world, and, most important, the bond the glue that holds the teams together and can mean the difference between finding bombs and terrorists or letting them slip by. These animals will gladly run into a hail of gunfire, says '"Stew," a Secret Service ERT tactical canine unit supervisor. All they ask in return is for their handlers to throw the ball with them, pet them, and talk to them in an embarrassingly high voice.
