The story revolves around themes of compassion, bravery, and the importance of humanitarian aid during times of conflict. In this narrative, young Lloyd Sherman, known as the Little Colonel, encounters a heroic St. Bernard dog named Hero while vacationing in Geneva, Switzerland. After Hero saves her from a runaway carriage, a heartfelt friendship develops between the dog and the little girl. Through conversations with Major Pierre de Vaux, Hero's owner, Lloyd learns about the origins and significance of the Red Cross, including the contributions of Clara Barton in America.
