(3) 4-6 With his father flying B-24s in WWII Europe, Hobie Hanson feels pressure to do his part. But when he volunteers his beloved German shepherd, Duke, for the new K9 program, he immediately regrets his decision. The time period, evoked through both product placement (such as Lux soap and Unguentine) and daily activities (such as listening to radio serials), unobtrusively frames this diverting read.
