(3) K-3 With the help of her family and a vet, Annie saves the life of a starving dog she finds in the woods near the town dump. Despite the happy ending, the story doesn't gloss over the difficulties involved in helping an animal in distress. Acrylic artwork ably depicts the emaciated dog and its concerned rescuer. A note explains that the story is based on the rescue of a real dog.
