{"product_id":"sport-ship-dog-of-the-great-lakes","title":"Sport: Ship Dog of the Great Lakes","description":"In 1914 crew members of the lighthouse tender Hyacinth rescued a stray puppy from the Milwaukee River and named him Sport. For the next twelve years, this charming Newfoundland-retriever mix lived the life of a ship dog, helping the Hyacinth crew as they carried supplies to lighthouses and maintained the buoys and other safety features around Lake Michigan. Sport quickly became a valued companion to his crew and a recognizable mascot of the lake—making friends in every port.\n\nIn this beautifully illustrated children’s book based on historical documents and photographs, readers share in Sport’s adventures while discovering the various ways lighthouse tender ships helped keep the lake safe for others. Helpful diagrams, a map, and a historical note supplement this engaging story for young readers.\n\n2020 Wisconsin Library Association Outstanding Children’s Book of the Year\n2020 Midwest Book Award Gold Medal\n2020 Library of Michigan Notable Book Award\n2019 Historical Society of Michigan State History Award\n2019 Moonbeam Children’s Book Award\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0870209140\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0870209140.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Graef, Renée|Cameron, Pamela\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
