If you don’t read it because the puppy on the cover is so cute, read it for the story – it is heartwarming. The story is told from Ellie’s point of view, which makes it all the more adorable.Ellie’s training has taught her to be an excellent search and rescue dog and the reader learns all about her adventures as she does her job. She also has handlers in whom she sens...

I loved this book, as much as I always love Bruce Cameron's stories about dogs. My own dog had just passed, and reading this book was felt by me as a sort of "homage" to him... The book brings closer the experience of a life of service in the form of a trained dog that succeeds at finding people (kidnapped children, people involved in natural catastrophes) and the way the dog's work intertwines with the lives of her trainers...I loved it!Maria Carmo,Lisbon, 14 October 2015.

The heartwarming story of Ellie, a search and rescue dog. Sweet and entertaining.

E ARC from Edelweiss Above the TreelineEllie is excited to be adopted by Jakob, and loves to have her ears scratched and cuddle up to the gruff man, who seems to prefer "work". Ellie understands that this is important, so practices "finding" people. She eventually gets good at it and has to locate a woman who has run away from a nursing home. Ellie also finds missing children and others, delighting in Jakob's company, until he is wounded while finding a child who has been abducted. Ellie is then...

Ellie's life story as told from her perspective. Touching yet informative as the reader learns how search and rescue dogs are trained. Recommended for children and adults.

it was good

The story of a search-and-rescue dog, from puppyhood to retirement, told from the dog's perspective. I think a lot of kids would like this book because so many of them have had encounters with the various types of working dogs. And the information at the back will help them to learn about more than just Ellie.

This story is written for the juvenile reader, but it is enjoyable for the adult reader as well!! Very well done, and a great addition to animal-related literature for kids.

Very good. Lots of action.

Ellie is a German shepherd trained to be a search and rescue dog. This is a story told from Ellie's point of view which amps up the charm factor . There are interesting bits to learn about the world of search and rescue. A sweet short story!

I really love the Dog Purpose books and this children’s book about Ellie the search and rescue dog was a winner! Ellie was always one of my favorites, so getting to know her better as well as Jakob and Maya was such a treat! My teenage son and I read it together as part of homeschool, and we both adored it. Very highly recommended for all ages who love heroic dogs :)

A cute and easy read..it's tailored to kids but I absolutely loved it, ha! There were moments of sadness of course because it wouldn't be A Dog's Purpose series book without it but so many happy tears too!

5 StarsI am not really a dog person but when I was reading this book I fell in with Ellie's Story. It is about Ellie is a puppy that gets adopted and she is trained to be a service dog that is supposed to find people. It is amazing story. I like how it is really different from other stories. I like how it is a dog's life and perspective instead of a humans perspective. I have never read any kind of books that are like that until I read this. I really love this story. I would recommend this book

What a great, great story for dog lovers everywhere! Seth has been reading all things dog and animals lately, and he suggested I read this one before we go see the Dog's Purpose movie together. This is a tween-aged version of one the dog stories in the Dog's Purpose adult novel--this one is about Ellie, the search and rescue German Shepherd. It is heart-warming, exciting, and eye-opening, the whole book is told from the dog's point of view. Recommended to dog lovers everywhere!

Can't wait to read this! I hope it is as good as A Dogs Purpose!!

This story is a heartwarming tale of a search-and-rescue dog who is devoted to her cause, and won't leave a person behind. This is an incredible book that EVERYONE should read!

It was sad ,happy , with the same thing I am wanting to read in my books I read on my shelf and this is one of my favorites on my whole entire bookshelf.Good job W. Bruce Cameron.

Ellie’s Story by W. Bruce Cameron is a great book and i think kids 5-8 grade should read this book. In this book there was a puppy about 6-8 mounthsold named Ellie. She was chosen to be a police dog when a polic officer name Jakob brought her home. Once Ellie was trained she started working as a search and reascue dog. I feel like this book helped me a lot because it is for Ellie’s perspective, so it helps me imagine a dog’s perspective is like. I chose this book because I like dogs but also whe...

This was a sweet book for young readers. I read it aloud to my almost 2nd grader. She loves animals so this was a good subject. It was informative about search and rescue dogs and it had some good suspenseful moments. I was really disappointed, however, by the negative body connotations that author included, in reference to Maya. It seemed sexist that the female police officer had to lose weight and struggled to get in shape to pass her certification. It is mentioned several times how she could
