A kids’ book with five brief stories about read dogs: Dox, the greatest dog detective in the world who helped Italian police track down criminals; Grip, the dog who was a thief, about a dog in London who was taught to pick pockets; Wolf, the dog who saved other dogs, about one of Alfred Payson Terhune’s collies who protected other dogs on his farm; Barry, the dog who saved people, about a St. Bernard who rescued hikers in the alps; and Balto, the dog who saved Nome, about a sled dog who led a team to the city with diphtheria medicine.

Cute and interesting, but the illustrations were awful.
