<p><b><u>The full, true story of the dog featured on the cover of Clare Balding&apos;s <i>HEROIC ANIMALS</i></u></b><br /><b>____________________</b><b><br />The incredible true story of Sherlock, the brave dog with a nose for saving lives.</b><br /><br />Firefighter <b>Paul Osborne</b> works with the Fire Investigation Dog unit, where he handles <b>Sherlock</b> - an excitable, bright-eyed cocker spaniel.<br /><br />What makes Sherlock different? He&apos;s the most talented investigative dog the Fire Brigade has ever produced, capable of identifying extraordinarily subtle traces and scents even after thousand-degree blazes - even when he has to wear special protective boots due to the dangerous environments.<br /><br />Today, Paul and Sherlock fearlessly plunge into the most dramatic fire scenes in London, helping to keep the capital safe around the clock. With remarkable insight into the life of London&apos;s most heroic working dog, this inspiring account of the London Fire Brigade&apos;s four-legged heroes will delight and amaze.<br /><b><br />Foreword by Dany Cotton, Commissioner for The London Fire Brigade<br />____________________</b><br /><b>Winners of the Mirror and RSPCA Animal Hero Awards 2017</b><br /><b><br />Written in collaboration with and with full support from the London Fire Brigade</b></p>
