This is the first book in a time-travel series by Kate Messner. The main character is Ranger, the dog. He was trained to be a search and rescue dog, but he never passed the test because he gets too distracted. One day, he finds an old first aid kit buried in the yard. Its magic transports him back to 1850 in America to a launching spot for those traveling West on the Oregon Trail. There he helps a boy named Sam and sets off on the dangerous trail with Sam's family. Readers who love the Magic Treehouse books will enjoy these historical fiction stories. They are a bit higher level than those, although not by too much. They are on the same level as the I Survived stories, which are similar, although they don't have the time travel component.
