Dogs are more than companions in this varied Wildcats reader, which explores the work, abilities and adventures of these familiar animals. Short pieces combine factual information with storytelling, giving developing readers different ways to engage with a shared theme. A Newfoundland's role as a rescue dog appears among the examples, connecting the animal's strength and swimming ability with a story of helping people in danger. Photographs and illustrations support the text and provide opportunities to discuss what different dogs can do. Working Like a Dog offers an appealing selection for readers interested in animals, with accessible passages that suit reading in short sessions or sharing as a group.
