Sailor is a very unusual Newfoundland dog -- he's afraid of the water! This brings a lot of scorn for Sailor, which also rubs off on his owner, six-year-old Ike, who tries a variety of methods to entice Sailor into the water. Everything fails until one Spring day Ike follows a group of other boys onto the ice. When Ike falls in, Sailor overcomes his fear and saves him. After this Sailor is no longer called a hangashore, but is the town hero.

A hangashore no more,
By Cindy Miner (Tulsa, OK USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sailor: The Hangashore Newfoundland Dog (Paperback)
Sailor was afraid to go into the water. A Newfoundland afraid of the water??!! Preposterous!! All the kids made fun of Sailor, until one day, Sailor found good reason to take the plunge, and, in true Newfie character and glory, save his boy from drowning!!! What else could a Newf do??A short, sweet, book, that my children and I love, and read, and reread. Each time we read it we fall in love with our own Newfie again.
