Sommaire:
You never know how you'll react till you're confronted with a life-or-death decision. For two teenage boys innocently walking to summer camp on a clear, sun-shiny morning, they acted swiftly with courage and conviction to save the life of a badly injured dog. The quick thinking of Joey and Asher set off a chain of extraordinary events that united the community - from Dr. Egger and his staff to the kids and counselors at Happy Days Camp - as everyone rallied around the rescue and healing of this dog, which they aptly named Tripod.
