Synopsis

Two mismatched rescue dogs, Serge, an otterhound on the verge of retirement, and Roscoe, a border collie fresh out of the academy, are forced to team up to save the day when a wildfire ravages a Colorado forest.  

Roscoe is a Search and Rescue Force rookie who doesn’t play by the rules. Serge is a veteran of the Force, looking forward to a well-earned retirement. Roscoe can’t wait to make his first rescue, while Serge just wants to get through the next three days so he can finally just . . . chillax.

But when the largest fire Colorado has ever seen starts tearing through the forest, it’s all paws on deck for the Search and Rescue team. Serge and Roscoe are thrown together as partners, and with lives on the line, there’s no time for them to not get along. Will this mismatched team figure out how to work together to save the day? Get your woof on in this story of bravery, adventure, and doggy snacks from beloved author and longtime bookstore owner Len Vlahos.

Perfect for fans of Max: Dog, Hero, Marine and Zootopia.

• Talking Animals: Jump into a funny, fast-paced adventure told from the dogs’ point of view, where the snacks are serious business and the humans have no idea what’s really going on.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Len Vlahos dropped out of NYU film school in the mid-'80s to play guitar and write songs for Woofing Cookies, a punk-pop four piece—think R.E.M. meets the Ramones—that toured up and down the East Coast and had two singles and one full-length LP on Midnight Records.

The band broke up in 1987, and Len followed his other passion, books. He still plays guitar and piano, and now he plays ice hockey too (though not very well). And most of all he spends time with his better half (Kristen) and their best collective work to date, their kids (Charlie and Luke) and dog (Shea).
