Riptide

Cute short book. Great illustrations. It could lead to some good conversations with children in later readings. First time just enjoy. Later, is it good to let a dog run off on his own for hours? If there are sign posting no dogs on the beach, and the lifeguards keep having to call you to get the dog...
Nice addition to my collection, but you could quickly tead the book if you saw it somewhere.

Beautiful, sweet story of a golden retriever who insists on becoming a lifeguard even though his good intentions are found to be annoying. Then the day comes when he proves himself by saving the life of a child. Based on a true story of a golden at Cape Cod, Rip will steal your heart and move you to tears.
