Translated by Rosemary Lanning.
Illustrated by
Ulrike Heyne.
Eight-year-old Paul longs to have a dog of his own, but his father insists that he must first prove himself worthy; he's given a chance when he discovers a dog stranded on a sinking fishing boat. Accomplished, atmospheric watercolors rendered in the tones of a stormy sea add richness to a dramatic yet understated chapter book text.
