Hansen the Truck Stop Dog tells the true story of a livestock guardian dog found near a truck stop in southern Idaho.
For months, Hansen guarded two sheep along a narrow strip of land between a busy highway and the steep drop of the Snake River Canyon. With little food and no shelter, he continued doing the work he had been born to do, protecting his sheep.
When rescuers from Unega Mountain Dog Rescue learned about Hansen and his sheep, they began a careful effort to earn his trust.
Inspired by a true rescue, this story introduces readers to livestock guardian dogs and celebrates resilience, instinct, and the quiet courage of those who protect.
