Emma and Sheltie are on holiday in Summerland Bay - and snobby Alice Parker who always makes fun of Sheltie is there too! But when Alice and her pony get into trouble, Sheltie is the one who saves them. In the second story, Sheltie comes to Emma's rescue when she falls through the ice on Horseshoe Pond. The icy water makes Sheltie very ill and it is Emma's turn to save a life.
