This was a fairly interesting book, about George Washington's dog, of all things! Sweetie (aka Sweetlips) grows up learning to hunt with Washington and his friends, but his life takes a drastic turn when Washington is chosen to lead the First Continental Congress in Philadelphia and decides to take Sweetie along. From there the brave dog joins Washington on the battlefield during the war, and helps his master turn random nobodies into skilled soldiers. It's a very interesting book, and a very good way to learn about history. ( )

Klimo gave a unique view of George Washington from a dog's point of view. The book grabbed my boy's attention by being about a dog, some of the battles were stretched to include the dog...but the boys stayed interested.

Creative way to present history. Saw a different view of a common historical figure---if he treated his dogs better than others, than he was a good man.

A nice read, with some good history. A painless way for a kid to learn a little about George Washington (and dogs). ( )
