The snow is falling, and the golden retriever puppy Walter can hardly contain his excitement about starting a new job. He will be a trainee in the Alpine Meadows Avalanche Rescue dog team — a force of canines! Their noses and speed make them ideal animals for finding people quickly in the snow. Above are watercolor paintings by Megan Jost illustrating Walter’s journey onto the rescue dog team. Jost joined Megan Butcher to develop the new children’s book Ski Patrol Pups, which now is available at Word After Word Books, Palisades Tahoe, Office BOSS, Wild Cherries, Ace Hardware, Jack and Emmy, Ruffles and Ruffnecks, and Alpenglow Sports.
