This award-winning and beautifully illustrated story is told from the point of view of Jag, the real-life Canine Special Assistant to the Governor of Montana.
Written for children ages 6 to 12, First Dog is Jag's story of how a cow dog from a farm in Whitefish---the last pup in the litter---traveled to Helena and became the First Dog.
Featuring fun and fascinating information about what a governor does and how Montana government works, First Dog teaches kids that government belongs to them---and shows them that one day they, too, could be sitting at the governor's desk.
A portion of the proceeds benefit the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Montana
