Marie Pearson is an author and editor of books for young readers. Her first dog was an Australian shepherd who thought he could herd cats. She currently trains and competes with her standard poodle in multiple dog sports.

In this book, readers explore how dogs help farmers and ranchers move animals, as well as the skills and training this work requires. Short paragraphs of easy-to-read text are paired with plenty of colorful photos to make reading engaging and accessible.
