'Born to Obey' - Written and illustrated by Valerie and Colin Salt

'Here is an engrossing story, in word and picture, of the superbly trained Alsatians (German Shepherds) who so vastly increase the usefulness of our New Zealand Police Force.

It starts with the background history, and leads on to the formation of the special school where men and dogs learn their job of working as a two-unit team, so that the dog becomes almost an extension of the man - giving him the advantages of keener senses,mod extra mobility, of silence, of speed.'
