Description: "In Saginaw, Michigan - a city plagued with gang violence - Officer Joaquin Guerrero sensed God's call to work the dangerous night streets with his K9 partner, a ninety-pound German shepherd police dog named Rookie. On 9/11, Guerrero and Rookie responded to Ground Zero to help in the search efforts. For seven long days the pair worked "The Pile" with a never-give-up spirit. With Rookie as his mascot, Guerrero created Precinct 131, an educational program to keep kids from turning to gangs. Michigan & Rookie: Guardians of the Night is a remarkable story of service to community and country."-- p. [4] of cover.
