Rico and the Rhinos: A Tale of Friendship and Perseverance
Rico is a small, determined kid who loves baseball but gets pushed around by his teammates, “The Rhinos.” When K9 Fitzgerald — now a K9 officer and mentor — spots Rico’s struggle, he and Officer Tommy step in to help. Through patient coaching, skill-building drills, and steady encouragement, Rico not only sharpens his game but regains his confidence. He learns to channel frustration into determination, earning respect through effort rather than confrontation. The story crescendos on the championship field, where Rico’s growth lifts his team and reshapes how they see one another.
A warm, inspiring picture book for kids and caregivers, K9 Fitzgerald Sniffs Out Bullies: Rico and The Rhinos celebrates mentorship, resilience, and the quiet power of kindness.
