Ever since I read and reviewed the book
Bloodhound in Blue I've been fascinated with search and rescue dogs. I was impressed with how much information National Geographic Kids was able to pack in its latest installment of the
Doggy Defenders series,
Stella the Search Dog. So far, I think this book is my favorite in the series.

Stella is a Bloodhound who lives with her partner, trooper Enzo Diaz. In
this book, Stella and Trooper Diaz get a call that a hiker is lost. They board a helicopter and zoom off into the mountains to search for the lost hiker before a storm rolls in.
After she sniffs a bandana, Stella zooms through the trees, a stream, and logs to find the lost hiker. The hiker thanks her and everyone is happy.

This book was a fun and read and I think it would be exciting for kids. After seeing that even adults get lost, I particularly appreciated "Stella's Safety Tips" in the back of the book. Seeing Stella in action really helped emphasize that those tips are actually important.
