Cat Warren and her dog, Solo, bring science to life in this book for young readers, telling the story of their life as working partners. Overly energetic Solo and his new owner weather a rough start, but Solo’s vibrant personality and his keen nose are soon put to use during cadaver dog training. Upon graduation, Solo and Cat hone their skills through continual training and work.
Solo is one example of a variety of working dogs whose skills and abilities have helped rescue or locate the missing or the dead, bringing peace to their families. The book relays the story behind the science, the meticulous and grueling training, and the value of handlers and their dogs in these types of searches.
