From Homeless Puppy to K-9 Hero
Ages 6-10

She wasn’t even "Flash" yet — she was a puppy without a name, all alone and wandering the city streets. But then she was picked up by the dog-catcher and put in the animal shelter. Would anyone want her? Would she stay behind bars forever? She didn’t know. Then one day, a police officer came to the shelter looking for puppies who wanted to become police K-9s!

K-9 Flash Becomes A Hero! is the illustrated true story of how one abandoned puppy rose from the streets to become the inspiration for a foundation to provide care for retired police and military K-9s. Kids will learn that an idea can become reality through effort and teamwork, while enjoying the loving artwork on every page. A bonus "photo album" shows images of the actual K-9 heroes featured in the story.

Best of all... 70% of the royalties from sales of the book go to the nonprofit Project K-9 Hero to help fulfill its mission. (This is currently $1.62 per book sold here on Amazon.) For more information on the organization, go to ProjectK9Hero.org.
