Remembering Vera by Patricia Polacco

Ms. Polacco shares the story of Vera, a coast guard dog with whom she interacted two times in her life.  From the time she was a puppy and full of energy to the time she was weak and near death, the Coast Guard gentlemen adored her. 
Ms. Polacco writes about two rescues Vera performs which will win the readers' hearts.
