(3) K-3 Translated by Aída E. Marcuse. This bilingual edition describes, in English and Spanish, the work of guardian dogs, beginning with their early socialization as "guardian puppies." Introduced to "their sheep" at a very young age, the dogs grow up alongside livestock and learn to protect the flock from predators. Vivid photographs capture different stages of the process.
