Case Callahan isn?t a star swimmer like his sister, Quinn. He?s not a champion horse trainer like his father, or a popular stage actor like his mother. Still, Case is determined to make his mark. But one effort after another ? talent show, science fair, junior horse show ? is a terrible failure. It isn?t until Case comes upon a lost dog that he finds his path to success. The dog, whom Case names Noah, is certainly one of a kind ? what other golden retriever can answer the telephone and put dishes in the dishwasher? Together Case and Noah seem destined to become a trophy-winning team. Noah, however, is so smart because he was trained to be a service dog, and when Case learns about his dog?s past, he realizes there is more than one way to be a winner.

With thoughtful black-and-white illustrations, this is the perfect story for any child who has struggled to discover his talents ? and for any dog lover.

Heartwarming story for all ages

Nancy Ruth Patterson is a wonderful children's author, and her newest release, The Winner's Walk, is my favorite so far. It is a story that teaches the importance of individuality and self-worth, with a heart-warming story of loving animals and friendship. If you are looking for a gift that encourages a child to not give up in the face of setbacks, to care about family, animals and people, and to learn about service dogs and their importance in many lives, this is the book to give to all on your list.

Yezerski's drawings provide excellent embellishment to a fun tale.

Case Callahan isn't a star or champion like others in his talented family - in fact, he's not really good at anything in particular. That's why he becomes determined to try out for activities in which he might excel, facing repeated failures until his friendship with a lost dog gains him some degree of fame. Thomas F. Yezerski's drawings provide excellent embellishment to a fun tale.
