      Twelve-year-old Ben and his retired police dog, Hero, find a stray puppy; when Scout goes missing, Ben and Hero stumble upon danger. The implausibility of seventh-grade boys breaking up a dog-fighting ring with Hero's nearly-supernatural search-and-rescue help will not deter dog lovers from enjoying this story. However, considering the thin characterization and predictable plot, discerning librarians should give this a pass.

      Anyone who loved the first two titles about search-and-rescue dog Hero will eat up this installment, in which boy Ben feels compelled to rescue his cop father when he's captured by escaped convicts. Once again, nearly superhuman and -canine powers are necessary to overcome exposure to the elements, physical trauma, etc. Readers willing to suspend their disbelief will be entertained.
