Animals are even more amazing than most people realise. With their super-senses and special abilities, animals can sniff out disease in humans, dig out those trapped by avalanches and even detect earthquakes before they strike. It hard to imagine where humans would be without animals to help us.

The simple text explains how and why animals help us and have a positive impact on our lives, often alongside the people who help us, too. From guide dogs and sheep dogs to therapy pets and police horses, readers will learn about the many ways people rely on animals to stay safe, have fun and help us get around.

The book will show readers age 7+ the importance of animal welfare. Readers will find out how owners and handlers care for the safety and wellbeing of our 'animal helpers'. We'll show how animals can help us physically but are also beneficial for our mental health. We'll also show how we can support animals in return.
