Fjord's Mountain Mission: Slope Safety with Fjord the Avalanche Dog - Paperback

by Caroline E. Elliott (Author), Evgenia Malina (Illustrator)

This book is mostly about a dog called Fjord; a very special dog who lived a life that most dogs can only dream of. Fjord lived and worked in the Pyrenean mountains with Caroline, his human companion. They lived side by side, constantly connected through work and affection, trusting each other in the sometimes solitary, sometimes dangerous world of avalanche control and mountain safety.

This book invites you into Fjord's world and shares important knowledge about how to keep yourself safe whilst enjoying snowsports. You will learn about Fjord's life from the moment he wakes to the moment he goes to sleep.

Follow him as he makes the slopes safe, prevents avalanches, responds to emergency alerts, jumps into rescue helicopters, educates children and so much more.

By the end, you may almost feel Fjord's wet nose on your face.
