When a ranger finds and helps an injured fox, the fox accompanies the ranger, even protecting her when a bear attacks. 

I enjoyed reading Nancy Vo’s western featuring a female ranger. Set in the late 1800s, her illustrations are great, incorporating newspaper clippings from the 1860s. A beautiful story with a touch of magical realism, The Ranger is part of the Crow Stories trilogy.
