I haven’t heard of this book, but I think I’ll read it. Any story which creates
emotion in the reader is a must read!
And a dog protagonist is really unusual, but I’m not surprised. I think publishers would accept a chapter book or YA with an animal hero. I read ‘Silverwing’, a story where a young bat is the hero, a coming of age bat story! It won a prize.

I haven’t read it, Jodie, but your review has intrigued me enough that I’m adding it to my TBR list.

I avoid dog or animal related stories like the plague! I just can’t bare any story where an animal is or may be hurt. I’m a real wimp when it comes to that! Although I did manage to make it through the wonderful Yann Martel’s Life of Pi. I just skipped the nasty bits.

It’s amazing, though, just how many stories do have a love story going through it, although it maybe billed as anything but.
