A lonely quack starts the sweetest rescue of Rusty's day.
Rusty-Ellie's loyal, red-and-white Australian Shepherd-discovers a lost duckling in Maple Park. With steady steps and a wagging tail, he helps her cross a busy playground, skirt a tricky creek, and follow the soft calls of a careful mother duck. This gentle, realistic adventure shows how calm choices and teamwork can solve big problems for small friends.
