About this listen

THE TOP TEN BESTSELLER: The Inspirational Life of Finn, Britain's Bravest Dog, Winner of the 2017 Daily Mirror Animal Hero of the Year Award

Hertfordshire, October 5th 2016. At around 2 a.m., PC Dave Wardell and his dog, PD Finn, were trying to apprehend a robbery suspect when he turned around and attacked them. Finn was stabbed with a ten-inch-bladed knife, both through his chest, via his armpit and then - the knife bound for Dave - through the top of his head. Finn no doubt saved Dave's life, but the race was on to try and save Finn's.

Dave Wardell's heartfelt memoir charts an incredible journey of friendship and loyalty. It is a celebration of the bond between one man and his dog, from when Dave collected Finn from his kennels at just nine months old, all the way through to Finn's recent and hard-earned retirement. The book charts the career of a highly trained, highly decorated dog. In his time on the job Finn tracked offenders of all kinds; found missing children; tackled armed offenders; saved lives. But Finn isn't just a police dog - he's also a cherished family pet and this is his remarkable, life-affirming story.

For dog lovers

Loved reading this phenomenal true story of an officer and his police dog. Although a dog lover myself, I never realized the commitment they make to each other. Read it, you’ll love it!

Roller coaster of emotions- worth it!

I loved the story and to learn about such a hero (Finn). I am a huge dog lover and dream to be a dog handler myself. The way the author explained things and went back and forth to make it make sense was a job well done. I related in ways I never thought I would and learned things I could apply in my daily life. Great book!
