Psi ve službách člověka – Girouille Michel (2024)

Police dogs for drugs, explosives, disasters. Disaster dogs, avalanche dogs, but also the best dogs for combating terrorism and drugs: the German shepherds of the French brigade never cease to amaze us. Every country calls upon them as soon as a disaster strikes. Brigade commander Michel Girouille was at the forefront of establishing the drug and explosives search unit within the police prefecture's canine unit. Through hard work and a love for dogs, he has shaped the unit into what it is today. The search for drugs was just beginning back then... In the book Dogs in the Service of Man, he reveals new, extraordinary stories. We learn how the author trained the first dog to detect explosives, Suroš. We will see how dogs rescued forty-seven people in Mexico City and fifty in Puerto Rico, along with another fifteen in Armenia after earthquakes and other disasters. Michel Girouille tells us the heroic deeds of these dogs with genuine passion: these stories, sometimes humorous, more often deeply disturbing – the death of his star dog Vanzy is heartbreaking – are always written in honor of man's best friends. And this friendship proves itself time and again! Dogs in the Service of Man is a book that dog lovers will definitely want to read...
