Publisher's Synopsis
A hunter teaches his new hunting dog partner to retrieve sticks and gently carry eggs without breaking them. But on their first hunting trip, the dog cannot bear to retrieve wounded ducks for his master. Instead, he brings sticks back to the hunter and takes the ducks to an island where they can heal. One night, the hunter follows his dog to the island and discovers the dog delivering bread to the ducks. The hunter is ashamed. He follows the example of his tenderhearted dog and nurses the birds back to health before setting them free.
