Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Roxi

I like the book "A Dog's Life" because of its unique view point of the animal, the likes of which are rarely seen, the classic "Black Beauty" being probably the most famous.  In the story the dog (who goes through many many names as the book progresses) starts out as a puppy doing the job he was born to do, herd sheep.   However, as life goes on he gets sold, adopted, or simply runs away, with one thought in mind, to find his sheep again.   The climax of the story comes when the love of his life pushes him away to find himself, his dreams, his sheep.
