Bookroo's summary
Cali, a ten-year-old dog walker, meets Thunder, a three-legged German shepherd with a heroic past in the Marines. As she navigates her new job, Cali uncovers the mysteries of Thunder's bravery and wonders if he will rise to heroism once more. What secrets does this retired military dog hold, and how will they change Cali's life? Join her on a journey of discovery and courage.
From the publisher
Ten-year-old Cali watched her new dog-walking client hop around the neighborhood. Thunder was a retired military dog–a real-life hero who had saved several lives in Afghanistan. The German shepherd only had three legs, but he moved around almost as quickly as any other dog. What did Thunder do in the Marines, and would he once again prove himself a hero? Cali was about to find out.
