When a blizzard traps a family outside in a whiteout, a cattle dog devises a stunning rescue in a moving, suspenseful, and gorgeously illustrated story.A family—a mother, a father, and their ten-year-old son—have come all the way from Florida to the Appalachian foothills to experience the wonder of a snowy weekend. At a nearby farm, a cattle dog is working, as she does every day, driving her forty head of cattle from pasture to corral and back again. And then, suddenly, a blizzard descends. The family is trapped outside, disoriented in the whiteout. They are panicked, exhausted, freezing, and stranded in waist-deep drifts. From off in the distance, the cattle dog has heard their faint, snow-drowned cries. Her inexhaustible attention turns to saving them. This stirring tale is both a compelling story of survival and a meditation on the tremendous will of man's best friend.

Review Rosen portrays the dog's attempts to save the family so astutely that readers will feel the dog's determination and exhaustion, and his somber, parsed descriptions of the blizzard and the family's subsequent disorientation in the whiteout bring their cold and fear close. The writing is matched by Fellows' superb watercolor illustrations—expertly rendered scenes that are, thankfully, liberally sprinkled throughout...A fine, superbly illustrated tale of adventure, bravery, and loyalty.—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)The urgent pace of the cattle dog's rescue attempt...is coupled with striking poetic language during quieter moments: "their overlapping parallel tracks left an empty musical staff on the blank pages of the smooth fields. Later, they returned on foot and their boot prints added the notes." Fellows's watercolor illustrations add an ephemeral quality to the fleeting story, helping create the distant but satisfying tone of this lovely prose-poem adventure.—Publishers Weekly (starred review)When the humans begin to fail in the deep drifts, the heroic dog—and, really, is it not heroism?—hits upon a remarkable stratagem to make straight their way to safety in this snug and handsome volume.—The Wall Street JournalExquisite full-page watercolor illustrations throughout combine with an omniscient narrative voice for an appealing package. An excellent selection for fans of survival literature and realistic animal adventure.—School Library JournalThis is gloriously melodramatic sentimental fiction that would make the Victorians proud, and it will be irresistible to animal-loving kids who have been able to withstand the pull of youthful cynicism.—Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

Michael's story, complemented by thew illustrations is a "must have" for all libraries serving children. This book can be used as a character study, a study of herding dogs, anadventure story. I tutor quite a few children and have shared it with both a 4th grader and a sixth grader. Both students, who tend to be reluctant readers were so mesmerized that they read it in one night. This is a book not to be missed. Many adults will be interested in the tale also.

Fall in love with this courageous, intelligent dog By Janet Hamilton Summary: When a family of three from Florida gets caught in an Ohio blizzard, things go downhill pretty quickly. Unable to find their way and exhausted from plowing through the deep snow, they finally dig a hole to take shelter and huddle together to wait out the storm. From time to time, the father stands up to whistle, hoping someone will hear this call for help. On a nearby farm, the whistle catches the sharp ears of a cattle dog, and she sets out to find the source. Finding the family, she stays with them long enough to warm them a bit, then heads back to her farm. She drives the cattle across the snow, flattening it enough that the family is able to walk across it and at last find shelter with the old farmer who owns the dog. Many years later, the boy in the family, now 18 years old, returns to the farm to try to reconstruct the miraculous rescue. What he finds there changes the course of his life going forward. 103 pages; ages 9-13.Pros: Dog fanciers will fall in love with the courageous, intelligent cattle dog, who, along with the other characters, is nameless until the very end of the story. The color illustrations perfectly capture the feel of the blinding snow and the warm farmhouse.Cons: While the short text and plentiful illustrations make this feel like an early chapter book, the vocabulary and inferencing skills needed make it more appropriate for an older audience.

By 2ManyCooks Sure, it's for dog people of all ages, but it's also like a classic tale of adventure...like "Call of the Wild" or "A Dog of Flanders" or "Black Beauty" that any reader will enjoy. And, no, this isn't a story where the dog has to die to make you cry. You'll be crying throughout...it's that beautiful and suspenseful and surprising. An amazing rescue.There's a link to a video on the Amazon author page that's a teaser to the book that his cattle dog "narrates." It merges photos of the dog with the watercolors from the book. It's on YouTube, as well: bit.ly/TaleofRescueVideo. It's just a fun preview.
