The book Avalanche dog heroes by Elizabeth Rusch is about heroic dogs who train their whole lives to search and rescue when an avalanche comes. Elizabeth Rusch’s story follows one border collie named Piper through her years of training in the service. This book also educates you on the danger of avalanches and how important these little heroes are. This book is great. It is engaging with a multitude of interesting and high quality photos that further explain the information. It is full of illustrations and side boxes littered with further information that help you to understand and follow along with the book. There are many special features such as guides and further informational links. This book is a great read for students because it’s easy to read and follow along with, but very informational and useful. It stirs emotion and helps you to relate to the characters and understand the importance of these special heroes and why we should appreciate them. I would definitely read this book again, its worth buying.
