An Inspiration

I read this book when it first came out and it totally changed my life. I could not quit thinking about Caroline Hebard and how she had given her life real meaning by combining her love of dogs with helping others. I did some more research and got a labrador retrevier to train for search and rescue. Along the way I decided that I needed to be better prepared to handle an emergency situation and I took classes to become an EMT. That led me to volunteer with a volunteer fire & rescue company. Although I trained my dog, he developed seiures and I have never used him for search and rescue. He has become my loyal companion and protector. I continue my work as a dedicated member of my Fire & Rescue Company and my life truly has meaning. All because of this book.

This is the BEST book!

I found this book probably about 4 or 5 years ago, and since then I've read it about 20 times. So That Others May Live is really one of those hard to put down books. It captures the tragedy, heroism, compassion, and often humor of what Caroline Hebard and her dogs have done and still continue to do. All in all... it is one of the best books I've ever read, and I highly recommend it to anyone who loves dogs, or has any interest in Search and Rescue work.

Inspired me

This book inspired me to become a dog trainer. I carefully watch for the S & R dogs now at disaster sites and think of this book. I can now empathize with the joys and hardship of this work and hope to be a contributing part of this someday. Excellent book.

The good and bad times of search and rescue

Caroline is a determined, hard worker that doesn't let her being a women stop her or slow her down from disagreeing, or going against some very important and powerful men. This story insights the up points and down points of search and rescue. It shows some of the natural disaster in which her and her team search through rubble to save strangers' lives, and their struggle to be able to search in the countries that are enemies to the U.S.A.. The book also shows the psychological things the people and their dogs go through, and the problems they bring home to their families.

YOU WILL LOVE THIS BOOK!

this is one of the most inspiring books I have ever read (all 3 times) No one who reads this book will walk away without an admiration for the dedication and love Caroline Hebard puts into her work and her dogs. I can not say enough about how much this book is a "must read". Caroline, if you ever check out theses reviews, I am a huge fan. Few have achieved as much as you.
