What Parents Should Know

Mild PerilMild

Mentions criminals and shows dogs in simulated apprehension training scenarios. Not graphic.

Sensitive Topics

The book deals directly with the topic of crime and law enforcement. It mentions "criminals" and "bad guys" and shows images of dogs in training scenarios, which may include a dog biting the padded arm of a trainer. The approach is factual and sanitized, focusing on the skill and purpose of the action rather than violence or fear. The context is entirely secular, and the resolution of every scenario is one of safety and success through teamwork.
