Riptide
Riptide Windjammer was an uncommon name for an uncommon dog, a dog who loved the sea and was happiest helping the beach patrol guard the Cape Cod coast where he lived. But the beach patrol didn`t need another lifeguard, until the day a real riptide came and Rip the dog became a local hero. Full color.
