Operation Rescue Dog
by Maria Gianferrari, illustrated by Luisa Uribe
This sweet story about a girl named Alma and a stray dog named Lulu shows how a girl and a dog can rescue each other.
Lulu’s ears flap in the wind
as the rescue truck rolls into the lot.
Lulu’s tail thumps—
Everything smells . . . new.
Lulu sleeps under the moon, drinking from mud puddles and is covered in ticks until she is rescued. She waits for the Operation Rescue Dog truck, scared and uncertain.
Alma misses her Mami, who is far away in Iraq. Alma wears Mami's scarf around her like a hug. She wonders: Can a dog feel like a hug?
In the heartwarming and moving picture book Operation Rescue Dog, a lonely child and a lonely dog come together and find warmth, companionship, and love in each other.
