Reviews

[Caleb · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a great story. It is about an army dog named Ceaser that is a part of a team called GRRR (Global Rapid Reaction Responders). They are a special Operative team that goes on special missions. The missions involve bombs because Ceaser is an explosive detection dog. In this book the team is tracking elephant poachers in Tanzania that are killing the elephants for the ivory from their tusks. While the team is investigating this crime it begins to get worse when the poachers take a ranger hostage! I think that kids and adults would enjoy reading this book; it is one that is very enjoyable.

Having had many Chocolate Labs, I could "see" our 'labbies' in all the situations Caesar would be in. I have one more book to read in this series and wish there were more to read.
