First Dog: Unleashed in the Montana Capitol

by Jessica Solberg

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---the last pup in the litter--- from a farm in Whitefish 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.
