"Dogs do speak, but only to those who know how to listen." Orhan Pamuk Hi, I'm Luke the Author Dog, and I know that quote is true. We speak to people through our actions and our feelings for them. In researching famous dogs, I've discovered that all of them have spoken loudly and clearly of the love and devotion they have for their humans. They have performed their jobs without question, treated their humans well, and in some cases, gave their lives for them. You'll read about Barry, the St. Bernard in the Swiss Alps, who rescued stranded travelers, Lily who searched tirelessly for victims following the Joplin tornado, and Judy the only registered prisoner-of-war dog in WWII. I've also learned the same traits apply to other animals as well as dogs. That's why we've included them in this book. Murphy the WWI donkey, carried wounded soldiers to safety even when bullets flew around him. Fungie the Dolphin has greeted visitors to Dingle Harbour for thirty years. Ham was the first chimpanzee in space and he performed his duties well, paving the way for human space flight. All have clearly spoken about their intelligence and loyalty. I hope you enjoy reading their stories as much as we enjoyed writing them. Luke
