Review:

In this new series of Doggy Defenders from National Geographic Kids, readers will learn about some of the smartest and hardest working dogs around.

Dolley is a Labrador Retriever that has a job as a fire dog. Her owner is Captain Herndon. Dolley’s job is to sniff out what caused a fire. To sharpen her skills, Dolley works hard at playing hide and seek for various scents her owner tasks her to find. Action packed photos can be found on each page as Dolley goes through her daily routine and fire dog on the job.

Bold print and easy to read sentence structure make this book perfect for beginner readers. Parents and teachers can discuss with kids how important dogs can be in dire situations. Kids can also share what special skills their pets have. The back pages share safety tips and the team Dolley is a part of.
