About this ebook

Jack has finally found a home and a purpose on a farm, where he keeps a flock of sheep safe from coyotes and helps train young pups to do the same. But when two sheep disappear in broad daylight, Jack doesn't know what happened to them. Was it his fault? Is he just getting too old for this job? Still, he's determined not to disappoint his boy, Luke, who thinks that Jack is the smartest and fastest dog around. Then Jack and Luke discover that the animal threatening their farm is far more dangerous than any coyote: it's a rabid wolf. Jack knows that he must gather the courage and strength to protect the ones he loves most—but can an old dog learn new tricks?

    5/5
    Jack, a border collie, has been lead dog for years and cherishes his role. But the years are catching up with him even though no other dog is ready yet to take his place. Then some sheep are killed and he sees a strange new animal. He's used to looking out for coyote, but this is a rabid wolf and he's never seen anything like it. Jack and his owner, teenage Luke, are devoted to one another and both are determined to protect the other and the others on the farm. An adventure story that introduces a way of life and its perils to middle grade readers.
