But even if the pup survives, he has a long recovery ahead, and it will be hard for him to rust after being hurt before"--Amazon.
"Jet is a border collie puppy tired of feeling hungry and lonely. He's tired of the collar that yanks at his neck and the leash that makes things worse.

When a plane goes down in the wilderness and a snowstorm is moving in, will Jet be able to overcome his fear in time to become a hero?"--Amazon.
