"When Willy's friend Sid comes to visit, he brings Willy a surprise—a new pup! Willy's new pup is strong and fast, but he needs a lot of training before he can become the new lead dog. When Willy finally decides his new pup is ready for his first hunting trip, the dog's strength and bravery are put to the test. Based on true experiences of the author's father, this story from Labrador shows the powerful bond between a dog team driver and his lead dog."-- Provided by publisher.
