Jim: The Story of a Backwoods Police Dog

The wilds of Nipsiwaska County have no room for weakness. When Deputy Sheriff Tug Blackstock takes on a pup named Jim, he's not looking for a pet. He's building a partner. The rivers run fast and dangerous at Brine's Rip, and the men who haunt these woods are faster. But Jim has something the outlaws don't: a nose for trouble, a heart that won't quit, and the kind of loyalty that makes a lawman think he might actually win this fight. Roberts, the father of Canadian animal fiction, understood that courage comes in all sizes. This is frontier adventure at its finest: a lost child wandering near the treeline, a bear moving through the mist, and one dog whose instincts mean the difference between tragedy and triumph. It's a story about what it means to belong to someone, to choose a side, to hold your ground when everything in the wild is trying to wash you away. For readers who grew up dreaming of the deep woods and the creatures who call them home. For anyone who believes the best partners have four legs and fur.
