Without the help of animals, there isn't much we could have done to make this world our home. They have truly been our partners. For a long time they were our only means of transportation, and when we got to where we wanted to go, they helped us make the land livable. They protected us when danger threatened, and in the quiet times they were our devoted companions. Their special talents enabled them to do many things we found impossible. Machines never really replaced our animal partners. They simply liberated them to do more important work. As our world has become more complicated, we are discovering more of the incredible ways animals make our lives better. In WORKING PARTNERS we celebrate the animals who share our lives and labors. In each of these true stories, we marvel at the skills, the dedication and the love of God's creatures as they make it possible for us to reach our goals. The stories in FINDING THE LOST tell us about animals whose special abilities and training enable them to save people who would otherwise be doomed. In "Ebony and White," a K-9 scout dog teaches his rookie handler how to find the enemy before the enemy finds him. And in "Deep Snow, Deep Water," we follow search dogs on the trail of people trapped by an avalanche. In SHARING OUR CHORES we meet Humphrey, an enchanting cat who helps a couple run an inn. We also get to know "A Dog Named Silk," whose lack of self-confidence gets in the way of her talent for herding sheep. SPECIAL CARE introduces us to some remarkable animals who make it possible for people to overcome their disabilities. Bruno helps his lawyer-owner find and keep a job, and Escort remains by his blind owner's side during a critical hospital stay. But Arthur Gordon tells us about a friend who becomes a seeing-eye person when his beloved dog loses his sight. If you've never met a junkyard dog, you're in for a treat as Dan Neil tells us about Ned, a gigantic protector of his owner's property, in SUPER SLEUTHS. Then there is the Beagle Brigade, an extraordinary team of sniffers who work for the U.S. Department of Agriculture. IN THE SPOTLIGHT takes us to the movies, the circus and the glamorous world of advertising where we meet some of the greatest performers of our time. Gilmore the Lion is unforgettable, and you'll love the real story of Lassie, the collie who couldn't make it in the show ring but went on to better things. WORKING PARTNERS is an exciting collection of true stories about the wonderful achievements that are possible when animals and people come together. You will be both thrilled and touched by them. Visit Guideposts' Web Site at www.guideposts.org and "take refuge with us"! PHYLLIS HOBE has always been interested in animals and has often written about them. Her own dogs are trained in search work and in pet therapy, and in their spare time are just plain lovable family members.
