I liked this book. This book is about the journey of 2 dogs and a cat who find themselves crossing over dangerous and unknown territories trying to make their way home. After reading this book i wanted to take my dog and give him a great big hug and keep him extra close by.

I actually didn't like this book all that well. The movie Homeward Bound was much better then the book and I don't say that often. There really isn't much to say about this book, only that it's an adventure of three animals trying to find their owner and get home. I rate it G and give it 3 out of 5 stars
