Fifth Grade Here Comes Trouble

c99dd6e1-bfc1-43c7-90bf-334d180bbe9b-1

A collection of seventeen stories describes the efforts of various dogs to rescue humans…Dogs are more than just a pet, especially to the many people's lives who they have saved. Eve, the Rottweiler, pulled her owner from a burning truck minutes before it exploded and Grizzly Bear, a St. Bernard, saved his owner from a real Grizzly bear mother who was enraged as she was accompanied by her cub. There are 15 more stories of the heroism of dogs saving the lives of humans in this book and some photos of these amazing animals are included in the center pages. This is a great book to teach that dogs can be and are more than pets and can be trained to perform amazing tasks
