This book made me cry, cry, and cry some more. Even for the toughest person, it will touch their heart. Not trying to be soppy of course, but this really IS a saddening book. It is about a stray dog named Squirrel who loses her mother then follows her brother, Bone, who decides to leave. They travel around the highway, until someone finds them and takes them away to their house. They are terrified of course, but then a mean man in the house throws them onto the highway again. A car stops and takes Bone with them but not Squirrel. She is left her own to decide her way of life without her guiding brother. It truly washes you of bad spirits this does, to see it from a dog's point of view. I really rate this a million stars.
