With the Great Dane Thor standing quietly beside him, Lars Newton watched the poachers with their loaded guns getting closer and closer to the snow-covered thicket where a doe and her twin fawns had taken refuge. What could he, an unarmed boy, do to stop the slaughter?
Maybe he could count on Thor to help. Lars felt more confident with the Great Dane at his side. It hadn't always been that way. Thor was his father's dog-and when, a few weeks before, Thor had wantonly killed a buck, Lars' rage knew no bounds. Then his father had given him the job of training the Great Dane. It hadn't been easy. But gradually boy and dog grew to understand each other. That in itself opened up a whole new world to Lars. . . .
