About this book
Among the Hospice dogs, a woolly St. Bernard puppy learns that strength matters most when it helps someone lost in the snow. Prince Jan listens to his mother and old Bruno describe the dangers of mountain trails, then waits eagerly for the monks to begin his training. Forrestine C. Hooker gives the dogs voices, family memories and a strong sense of duty, making Jan's wish to earn his place the starting point of this children's animal story.
Later, Jan's troubles bring the story into a different landscape of roads, woods and human households. After a car crash gives him a chance to escape William, he struggles onward with a muzzle that prevents him from eating. Two girls gathering blackberries meet the exhausted dog and mistake him for a bear. Readers interested in animal adventures will find a story that connects a dog's courage with the kindness or harshness of the people around him.
