When a person is trapped in an avalanche, a search dog can mean the difference between life and death. Follow along with Piper as she trains to be a search dog and prepares for her final certification training.

Rusch uses photographs for illustrations and provides a wealth of background-building information to support her story about Piper.  What a fun addition to a unit about working dogs, about winter, even avalanche safety.
