In the book Renni the Rescuer, George adopts a German Shepherd puppy named Renni and trains him to find wounded soldiers.

For example there was this russian family that was introduced in the middle of the book but fled the country when the war began. I also think the author added way too many characters to the story that did not need to be there. I did not like all the filler events that happened leading up to the war. Some parts of the book that I enjoyed when George was doing his serves in the war when a pigeon lands on Renni’s head and lays there for the rest of the book. I really enjoyed the book Renni the Rescuer.
