Dogs have been loyal to humankind for thousands of years, but today, millions of dogs are neglected and malnourished, and millions of other dogs are used in scientific research and for entertainment, and kept as pets in a remarkable diversity… of conditions. Laidlaw explores the world of homeless, mistreated, and exploited dogs, and the challenges they face, but he also focuses on the people he calls "dog champions" – people around the world who dedicate their lives to helping dogs. Some descriptions of violence. Grades 3-6. Winner of the 2013 Silver Birch Non-Fiction Award. Winner of the 2013-14 Hackmatack Award for non-fiction. 2011.
