Présentation de l'éditeur

Guardian dogs help ranchers protect their flock. Like other livestock in the Rocky Mountains, sheep need protection from coyotes, wolves, and other predators. To address this, ranchers have imported guardian dogs from Europe, where the best breeds have sheltered livestock for thousands of years. Ranchers place guardian puppies in fleece so they identify with a sheep's smell. Soon, the dogs meet their first sheep and mingle with the flock. With little training and great instinct, the dogs understand that their job is to watch for danger . . . and to do some occasional baby-sitting. Cat Urbigkit's engaging photo-essay shows how guardian dogs form a bond with the sheep that lasts throughout the dogs' life. This bilingual edition brings an already popular, high-interest title to readers of Spanish and English.

Revue de presse

"This will not only replace George Ancona's out-of-print Sheep Dog (1985) in libraries, it will rivet young dog lovers in general." —Kirkus Reviews

"Kids will . . . come away impressed by the 'unique closeness' that can develop between two species and will want to return again and again to the heart-tugging images of shaggy puppies nuzzling their charges." —Booklist

"Suitable for reading aloud as well as reading alone. . . . Dogs with jobs remain an alluring topic, and this could partner effectively with titles about rescue dogs and assistance dogs, provide an interesting slant on ranch life and practices, or just offer a good excuse for looking at some cute puppy pictures." —Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
