The stories are old, such as "Old Yeller", Where the Red Fern Grows" and "Rascal".<br />I love animals, however, I've owned everything from hamsters to fish, birds, frogs and rabbits. Now I have two dogs and just acquired a couple of hermit crabs which are really quite amusing.<br />Judging from your review, maybe I need to start reading animal stories again.Sharon Wilfonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17466621290140789056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-399515599170267990.post-14617050012762037382015-03-07T05:19:31.994-08:002015-03-07T05:19:31.994-08:00This story does sound intriguing!

My favorite animal book of all time is Rascal, by Sterling North. A raccoon of all things - and yes, it has a good ending! :)amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14413812739575222069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-399515599170267990.post-71611164059181745712015-03-06T18:41:12.224-08:002015-03-06T18:41:12.224-08:00I will put this book on the list as a selection my...I will put this book on the list as a selection my hubby and I could listen to on a road trip.

I have had several pits and their bad reputation is way over blown. The ones I had couldn't have been sweeter nor more gentle. <br />I will definitely give this a look. Thanks for the review.

Still haven't forgiven the author of Old Yeller. ;)<br /><br />I enjoy the mystery stories by Spencer Quinn about a private detective and his canine companion, who narrates the books.

This book sounds like it is "right up my alley" as I have 2 rescue dogs and a rescue cat and I've had horses in the past.

I liked Black Beauty and War Horse, but I think an animal narrator might work better for a younger audience. I enjoyed how you connected your own dog rescue story to the one in the book. Lucky Lily!
