The Good Dog

This book, The Good Dog, is about a dog named McKinley who is the dog of a boy named Jack. McKinley has always been Jack's "good dog," but when news brakes out of a wolf named Lupin snooping around in town all dogs and hunters set out to kill this wolf and McKinley decides to help the wolf. When McKinley talks to the wolf, Lupin tells McKinley about the freedom that McKinley could have being away from his owners. McKinley now has to choose between being Jack's house dog or having a free life out in the wild.
I liked this book because the author allowed me to see the world from a dog's point of view. McKinley always calls his owners, "his people." The author also supported his vision by showing how the dogs open doors, communicate, and how they don't understand everything humans say. McKinley in one part put the words Jack was saying together, "backpack, me, wolf, hunting." It showed how McKinley was trying to put the "human words" together so he could understand what Jack was saying. This book also had a lot of thrill. When McKinley found the wolf, the wolf could've eaten him and it excited me on what was going to happen next. I loved this book.

THE GOOD DOG review

THE GOOD DOG by Avi is an enjoyable fiction book that dosn't get boring. I especially recommend this book to anyone who likes dogs. This book is about a malamute(type of dog) named McKinley. He is the head dog in his town of Steamboat Springs, Colorado. McKinley has alot of responsability in his town, he has to watch over his human pup Jack while he makes sure that everything in the dog world is under control.

However one day while McKinley is out looking for a lost friend he runs into a wild she wolf named Lupin who has left the wilderness in search of dogs to repopulate her decaying wolf pack. While McKinley is trying to decide what would be best for the dogs he also has to juggle his leadership and his human pup Jack.

The Good Dog by Avi

This was a really good book. I enjoyed it so much, I read it at least thrice and every time I re-read it is still a wonderful book. It gives you a look at the world through a dog's eyes. I think that every dog owner - no make that every pet owner, should read this book. Actually it would be enjoyable to even someone without a pet. Not only is this a great book for kids, but I think adults would even love this book!

Thanks Avi!

Wolf and Dogs

This book is about a dog named Mckinley. It's told from his perspective of trying to save his wolf friend from a hunting dog. Mckinley and his dog friends find an injured wolf in the mountains above. The wolf, Lupin, is hiding from humans and their hunting dogs. Ironically, McKinley's owner Jack wants to find a wolf, and Mckinley has to make a decision: please his master or help his friend.

The book tells you that you can make new friends but don't forget your old ones. And the author tells you that protecting your friends will eventually reward you. I know this because Mckinley has to protect both Jack and Lupin. He almost forgets Jack in his efforts to save Lupin.

The perspective of McKinley's adventure makes The Good Dog a heartwarming story, confronting wolf and dog and revealing their friendship to each other. The Good Dog is amazingly written. The way Mckinley protects both Jack and Lupin is told with a fun perspective, clever dialogue, and McKinley's doggie friends popping in and out of the story. I would recommend this book to dog lovers, readers beginning operation K-9, or someone that just wants to find out a dogs thoughts.

When the Wild Calls

McKinley, a malamute, is a good dog -- he's reliable and trustworthy. Whether it's watching over the other dogs of Steamboat Springs, Colorado, or taking care of his human pup, Jack, McKinley never even thinks of letting anyone down -- until he meets Lupin. Lupin is a she-wolf and she's urging the dogs of Steamboat Springs to leave their domesticated lives and join her wild pack. And though she scares McKinley, he also finds himself drawn to her and the life of freedom that she offers.

For the first time, McKinley's loyalties are torn. Should he stay with his humans and continue to lead the dogs of Steamboat Springs? Or should he join the wolf and live freely, like his ancestors did? When the wild calls, what will McKinley's answer be?
