About The Adventures of Duncan and Bane

 

Military working dogs play an invaluable role in service, offering courage, loyalty, and devotion in the line of duty. These extraordinary dogs, trained to detect explosives, locate missing persons, and protect their handlers, often face difficult transitions when their service comes to an end. Many retired military working dogs find themselves in need of specialized care, support, and, most importantly, a loving home for their well-deserved retirement.

 

The Adventures of Duncan and Bane aims to honour these unsung heroes by sharing the unique bond between Duncan, a pilot, and Bane, a military working dog in need of a second chance. Through a collection of heartwarming stories, the book underscores the resilience, strength, and loyalty that define military working dogs, while also highlighting the importance of providing them with compassion and support once their service is complete.

​

Duncan’s friendship with Bane teaches readers about the deep impact that dogs have on those they protect, as well as the need to advocate for the care of animals who have dedicated their lives to others. Each story emphasizes the importance of speaking up for those who cannot speak for themselves and encourages compassion toward all beings. With simple, heartfelt illustrations, The Adventures of Duncan and Bane speaks to both children and adults, helping readers understand the meaningful role these dogs play and the need to support their journey into retirement.

 

20% of all proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated to organisations in the UK dedicated to helping retired military working dogs, ensuring they receive the care, respect, and love they deserve after a lifetime of service.
