From the author of Bambi, this story of a boy, his dog, and their
bravery reaches a new generation of readers with a fresh look.
George has always wanted a dog, so when he picks up small Renni, the
runt of a litter of German Shepherd puppies, he immediately falls in
love.
As Renni grows, George begins to teach him, and soon Renni is able to do
remarkable things. When a trainer suggests Renni become a rescue dog,
George knows it's a perfect fit for his pet. Soon Renni is able to find
anyone in any situation.
Then the war that has been looming finally begins, and Renni and George
enlist. They are able to help many soldiers during training camp--but
when they are tested in the actual battlefield, can the two friends hold
their ground? Or are they unprepared for the trials ahead?
