About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is fascinated by real-world heroes or is beginning to take on new, difficult responsibilities that require patience and practice. While it features a lovable Border Collie named Henry, this true story is less about 'pets' and more about the rigorous training and deep trust required in high-stakes rescue work. Set in the snowy mountains of Whistler, British Columbia, the narrative follows Henry as he transforms from a playful pup into a professional life-saver. It is an excellent choice for children ages 7 to 10 who enjoy action-packed nonfiction, offering a clear look at how teamwork and resilience function in the face of natural dangers. Parents will appreciate the educational interstitials that explain the science of avalanches and the biology of a dog's incredible sense of smell.
