Horn Book

Twelve-year-old Ben and his retired police dog, Hero, find a stray puppy; when Scout goes missing, Ben and Hero stumble upon danger. The implausibility of seventh-grade boys breaking up a dog-fighting ring with Hero's nearly-supernatural search-and-rescue help will not deter dog lovers from enjoying this story. However, considering the thin characterization and predictable plot, discerning librarians should give this a pass.
