Junior Review: Dogs with Jobs

You might think that all dogs do is make their owner happy and chase around balls, but turns out some dogs do other important things. Some dogs have jobs!

Like Ralf. Ralf is a helper at the hospital, and he helps children when they are feeling upset or homesick. 

There are also many other jobs that dogs do too, and Dogs with Jobs will tell you all about them.
I love this book because all the jobs that are in this book are real, and these dogs work really hard to get the job done. They are also making the world a much better place by saving humans and other animals too!

Who would have thought that dogs could have jobs! This is a great book and I love it. I would recommend this book to kids aged 3 to 7 and grown-ups too.
