Summary:
Join an extraordinary dog in his work to rescue people caught in an avalanche's path. In Whistler Blackcomb, British Columbia, avalanche rescue dogs ride chairlifts and snowmobiles, fly down the slopes on skiers' shoulders, and even descend from helicopters in the race against time to rescue those in need. Henry is a lovable border collie who works with his human partner, Ian, in the beautiful but dangerous mountains. After years of hard work and training, Henry and Ian spend their days at the ready, prepared to jump into action at a moment's notice. But the mountains are unpredictable, and when disaster strikes, it will take all of Henry's bravery and skill to save the day.
