Lessons in Courage from the World’s
K9 Cops
Rachel Rose, acclaimed author and poet, stops by to talk with Marcie and Whistle about her new book – The Dog Lover Unit: Lessons in Courage from the World’s K9 Cops. Rachel introduces us to police dogs in the United States, France, Canada and Britain. She poetically describes the grit, determination and courage she witnessed firsthand with these law enforcement officers and their K9 partners. Rachel also shares with us the work she is currently doing with Pacific Assistance Dogs Society that was directly inspired by the courage she discovered while embedded with these fearless K9 units.
