Lesson 17

The Right Dog for the Job

by Dorothy Hinshaw Patent

Essential Question: How do people and animals benefit each other?"

Genesis 1:26

Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”

This week we’ll ask the question “How do people and animals benefit each other?

”We’ll start by reading the narrative nonfiction selection The Right Dog for the

Job, which explains how one heroic dog trained for these vital helping jobs. In the

informational text, Knowing Noses: Search-and-Rescue Dogs, we’ll read about SAR dogs and the daring jobs they perform.
