Barry: The Bravest Saint Bernard

(4) K-3 Stepping Stone True Stories series. Illustrated by Antonio Castro. The monks of the Saint Bernard monastery in Switzerland train dogs to rescue lost and trapped travelers. In this simple text, young Werner, who helps out at the monastery, helps train Barry, a determined rescue dog. Though the abridged easy-reader text can be jumpy ("Two years later...Barry died of old age"), Barry's tale is inspiring. Unassuming realistic illustrations depict the events.
