Kids love books about dogs, especially dogs like Tucker who start out of hand and end up a hero. A great author's note at the end, showing the dogs Tucker is based on, how conservation dogs are trained, the kind of animals they help find, and what jobs other working dogs do. Includes a bibliography for even more info.
