New Photo Book ‘Loyal’ Salutes Hero Dogs

Written by: Phillip Mlynar

Loyal is an inspiring new photo book that salutes dogs who go on brave missions. Inside, you’ll find profiles of 38 dogs who have stepped up to work during natural and man-made disasters, along with helpful and compassionate canines who offer support to those in need. The project is the brainchild of journalist Rebecca Ascher-Walsh, and it’s published by National Geographic.
