On September 11, 2001, terrorists attacked the World Trade Center in New York City. Narly 3,000 people were killed, and many were trapped under the collapsed buildings. When Canadian police officer James Symington heard about the attacks, he knew he and his trained search and rescue dog, Trakr, had to help. Follow Trakr's lead as he and Symington bravely search and dig through the rubble to help rescue survivors of one of the deadliest days in U.S. history.

      Grades 2-4 These new graphic novels in the Heroic Animals series (8 new titles) tell about several animals that became famous for their acts of service. In five brief chapters, each book details the central animal's background and training (if any), or how it came to serve, as well as its notable achievements. Trakr was a police dog who may have helped locate the final survivor from the World Trade Center following the 9/11 attacks. The dramatic settings and charismatic animal subjects in these books lend themselves well to graphic-novel treatment. A recap of the animal's story, a glossary, a ""read more"" section, and author/illustrator biographies in the end matter provide the requisite nonfiction elements for academic use. The books will likely appeal to animal lovers and to fans of disaster series such as I Survived. Because the books deal with war and disaster and include some vivid illustrations, the content is best suited for readers prepared for these difficult elements.
