About the book: In 1914 crew members of the lighthouse tender Hyacinth rescued a stray puppy from the Milwaukee River and named him Sport. For the next twelve years, Sport lived the exciting life of a ship dog on Lake Michigan. Sport's adventures included being lost in Chicago and playing on the ship's baseball team. The book is based on historical documents and photographs of the era, and includes diagrams, keywords, and a map of Lake Michigan. The book has received the Historical Society of Michigan's Children's/Youth Book of 2019 State Award and selected as the one children's book on the Library of Michigan's 2020 Michigan Notable Books list.

About the author: Pamela Cameron is a retired school and public librarian. She is a member of numerous maritime organizations.
