But earning his official rescue vest is no easy task. Under the watchful eye of expert dog trainer Marco and his young son, Kimo, Zeus must master an array of high-stakes skills. To make the cut, this heroic pup will have to learn how to track down lost hikers and missing pets, execute daring open-ocean rescues, and even bravely jump out of hovering helicopters!
