Kristin O’Donnell Tubb is one of the most delightful people. Students love her dog books. My son was a big fan of Hank the Cowdog and this book reminded me a lot of Hank. Besides being a silly dog, he is also trained by prison inmates (information about this in the Author’s Note at the end) to be a diabetic alert dog. He wants an important job and isn’t thrilled to be assigned to a middle grade diabetic. The information how dogs smell sugar or salt in blood was super interesting. It is wonderful to have this information explained to students!

He values labels and learns labels might not always be true.

People can smell one teaspoon of sugar in a cup of tea.
Dogs can smell that one teaspoon of sugar in a pond.

Middle school novel with so much heart!!! I loved seeing the world through Zeus's perspective. This book provided some real learning about service dogs and diabetes. Short chapters made it easy to keep reading and I think it would be a good read aloud in 4-5 grade.

I loved this story!
It's a lovely and sweet story and, being diabetic, I liked the main character being a diabetic child.
There's a lot of information about service dog and I strongly recommend this book.
Many thanks to the publisher and Edelweiss for this ARC, all opinions are mine
