I am reading the book Ellie's Story by W. Bruce Cameron. The genre of this book is Fiction. This book is about a young puppy named Ellie that lives with her owner Jakob and she is cared for and loved by him. Whenever he leaves for work she misses him and always wants to be around him. One day Ellie was going to "work" with Jacob. He was training her to smell things and to find where people where. On the next day, Ellie had a scary dream about a mysterious boy drowning, but she couldn't save him. From then on she has been training and finding people.
This story so far connects to the world because lots of people train dogs to become obidiant and search dogs. "The air scent dog is the type most frequently encountered. This dog finds lost people by picking up traces of human scent that are drifting in the air." http://www.ussartf.org/dogs_search_rescue.htm. Jakob has been also training Ellie to find things just like an "Air Dog". Ellie is being trained to be a search and rescue dog, but she is not ready and it takes time just like for most dogs.
I really like this book so far. It is very adventurous, funny, and heart warming.Although I am not very close to finishing the book, it is already very exciting. I recommend reading this book if you love heart warming books. Especially if you love dogs you should definitely read the book. If you read this book you would love it from the beginning to the end.
