Rescue Dog Of The High Pass

Rescue Dog of the High Pass

by Jim Kjelgaard

Franz Halle, a young boy living in a Swiss village, feels inadequate due to his lack of academic skills. However, he possesses a profound understanding of the mountains and their dangers, which he learns from his beloved Alpine mastiff, Caesar. When Franz finds work at the nearby St. Bernard Hospice, he is able to bring Caesar with him. Although Caesar initially proves to be more of a pet than a working dog, Franz and Caesar's bond strengthens as they face the harsh realities of the mountain passes. Franz learns that Caesar possesses a unique ability to detect people buried under avalanches, leading to the establishment of the famous St. Bernard rescue dogs.
